About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in School of Cyber Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), supervised by Prof. Weiming Zhang and Prof. Nenghai Yu. I also collaborate closely with Dr. Kejiang Chen. Before that, I got my B.Eng. in Information Security from China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT).

My research interest is Trustworthy AI. Recently, I mainly focus on LLM Safety.
