Biography

I am currently an MPhil student in AI at HKUST(GZ) under the supervision of Prof. Li Liu. Previously, after getting my MSc CS degree from HKU, I used to work as a full-time research assistant at Applied Security, Trust And Privacy Lab for Enterprise of PolyU under the supervision of Prof. Haibo Hu. During my undergraduate time at ECNU, I also participated in part-time research at Shanghai Key Laboratory of Trustworthy Computing under the supervision of Prof. Dehui Du. It is also my pleasure to work with close co-authors Zi Liang, Weilin Lin, and Nanjun Zhou.
