Trustworthy AI, Security and Privacy, Cybersecurity

Welcome! Here you can find information about my research, publications, academic activities, and contact details.

Research Interests

I hold a Ph.D. in Cyberspace Security from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. My research broadly falls into two complementary directions: Trustworthy AI and AI for safety-critical applications.

For Trustworthy AI, I develop trustworthy AI methodologies to enhance the robustness, security, privacy, and reliability of AI systems under heterogeneous and dynamic real-world conditions, leveraging robust learning, anomaly detection, distributed/federated learning, privacy-preserving techniques (e.g., differential privacy), and optimization methods.

For AI for safety-critical applications, I develop data-driven and AI-enabled solutions for the safe, reliable, and trustworthy deployment of AI in healthcare, wireless networks, IoT, and cybersecurity, leveraging domain-aware modeling, machine learning, data analytics, and system-level optimization.

I warmly welcome inquiries and collaborations. If you work on related topics, please feel free to email me to exchange ideas and explore potential collaborations.
