I obtain my Ph.D degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Qiang Xu. Before that, I got my M. Phil of EE from Tsinghua University in 2019. My current research interests span the fields of AIGC security, including red-teaming AICG services and designing safety countermeasures to counter potential threats. I am currently exploring new career opportunities and am open to discussing potential roles. Please feel free to contact me should my expertise align with your organizational needs. I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with innovative teams and contributing to exciting projects.
