I am a final year PhD candidate from SEIT lab, department of Computer Science and Engineering, Michigan State University. My research is focusing on machine learning & security and privacy, especially threats and safety topics related to speech AI (CCS’22, WiSec’23, RAID’23, MobiCom’24, ), side-channel attacks (NDSS’22), LLM (RAID’23, ARXIV’24), and IoT (MobiCom’20, CNS’24). I am advised by Dr. Qiben Yan. Currently, I am an AI Security Research Scientist Intern at ByteDance, San Jose, where I work on leveraging large language models to enhance security in cloud services and firewalls.

Before my PhD career in MSU, I obtained my BEng from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2016 and MEng from North China Electric Power Univesity (Beijing) in 2019.

I’m also exploring new opportunities in Software Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, and Applied Scientist roles within the U.S. market. If you’d like to connect professionally, feel free to reach out via LinkedIn or contact me directly through email.
