About Me

I am currently a Machine Learning Video Algorithms Engineer at Apple.

I received my Ph.D. degree in the Computer Science Department at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2023. I worked with Prof. Bo Li in Secure Learning Lab. My research interests are in the intersection of machine learning and security. I am interested in exploring the vulnerabilities of machine learning systems and developing robust versions of them.

I received my Bachelor’s degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in ACM Honors Class, Zhiyuan College. My undergraduate research advisors are Prof. Yong Yu and Prof. Weinan Zhang. In 2017, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Madeleine Udell, Prof. Nathan Kallus in Cornell University as a research intern, and Prof. Dawn Song, Dr. Chang Liu in UC Berkeley remotely. I worked as Research Intern at Waymo (Summer 2022), Uber ATG (Summer 2020), Ant Financial (Summer 2019), and Tencent (Summer 2018) on exciting projects.

I will be happy to recommend you to my advisor if there is a good match. Please do understand that I may not be able to respond to every email. Thanks! Update: Prof. Bo Li has now moved from UIUC to the University of Chicago.
