Short Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Department of Computer Science (secondary appointment) at Duke University. I am broadly interested in cybersecurity and data privacy with a recent focus on the intersections between security, privacy, and machine learning. On one hand, I leverage machine learning techniques to study security and privacy. On the other hand, I build secure and privacy-preserving machine learning. I received a B.E. from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2010 (with the highest honor) and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 2015. During 2015-2019, I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Iowa State University.
I have received the following honors and awards:
- 2021 Facebook Research Award
- 2021 Army Research Office (ARO) Young Investigator Award
- 2020 IBM Faculty Award
- 2020 Rising Star Award, Association of Chinese Scholars in Computing
- 2020 DeepMind Best Extended Abstract Award, CVPR Workshop on Adversarial Machine Learning in Computer Vision
