About Me
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at University of Virginia, working with Prof. Tianhao Wang. Prior to this, I was a visiting Ph.D. student at University of Virginia from April 2023 to April 2024. I received my Ph.D. degree in Cyberspace Security from the College of Computer Science and Technology at Zhejiang University, under the supervision of Prof. Zhan Qin. I received my B.S. degree in Information Security from China University of Mining and Technology. I also collaborated closely with Dr. Weiran Liu (from Alibaba Group) and Prof. Yuan Hong (from University of Connecticut) during my Ph.D. journey. My recent research interests focus on Differential Privacy and Machine Unlearning.
