I am currently a postdoc at City University of Hong Kong. I received my dual Ph.D. from City University of Hong Kong and Xi’an Jiaotong Univeristy in 2024. I also had a wonderful time in Qihoo 360 as a research intern in 2018. Before that, I obtained B.Eng. and B.B.A. from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2016.
My research lies at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI. Recently, I am focusing on analyzing new attack surfaces introduced by AI components and exploring how AI can be leveraged to enhance existing security measures.
