About me
- I am a PHD candidate from Department of Computer Science at Rutgers University, advised by Prof. Shiqing Ma.
- My research interests are AI for system security and AI security. More specifically, I am interested in:
- Collection, compression, storage and analysis of large-scale security data (e.g., provenance graphs and logs).
- Rule/AI based intrusion detection and investigation.
- AI security and explainable AI.
- I was a machine learning and AI research intern at Bell Lab where I focused on data mining on large-scale industry logs in Summer 2023. Before joining Rutgers, I obtained my B.E. from Central South University in 2020.
