I am a Computer Science MPhil student at HKUST. I work as a research assistant in Software and System Security Lab supervised by Prof. Shuai Wang.
I received my B.S. from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign supervised by Prof. Bo Li.

My research interests are Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and Trustworthy Machine Learning. My research vision is to develop transparent, reasonable, and secure deep learning based algorithms.
