- Scholarship in 2021 at Georgia Institute of Technology
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). I was named an IBM PhD Fellow in 2022 and a Croucher Scholar in 2021. Before joining HKU, I was a research scientist at IBM Research and received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), advised by Prof. Ling Liu.
My research interests are at the intersection of machine learning, cybersecurity, and systems. The overarching goal is to amplify the real-world impact of artificial intelligence by building trustworthy technologies through an adversarial lens. To this end, my recent work focuses on (i) understanding new security and privacy threats to AI systems and (ii) developing attack-resilient solutions through algorithmic and infrastructure optimization. These efforts span various learning approaches, including centralized and federated learning, and cover a range of applications across, e.g., large language models and visual recognition.
