About

prof_pic.jpg

I’m a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Bo Li of Secure Learning Lab. My recent research focuses on the trustworthiness of foundation models.

Before that, I received my B.S. in Information Security at Fudan University. My undergraduate advisors are Prof. Sheng Li and Prof. Yuan Zhang.

Besides research, I like playing tennis🎾, guitar🎸 and piano🎹. My favourite tennis player is Roger Federer!😍
