I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science Department at George Mason University, working under the guidance of Dr. Qiang Zeng. I earned my M.S. in Computer Science from the University of South Carolina and my B.E. in Electronic Information Engineering from Beihang University.
I am broadly interested in Systems Security, with a focus on cyber-physical systems (CPS) and artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
• CPS security: Authentication and pairing, smart environments, Internet of Things (IoT), mobile payment security.
• AI Security: Adversarial attacks and defenses, watermarking and content attribution, data privacy and security.
