Prospective Students

Q: What research areas do you work on?
My research lies at the intersection of computer security and machine learning, with a focus on similarity learning and building robust and reliable ML systems for real-world security problems.

Q: What are you looking for in prospective students?
I look for motivated and curious students who enjoy exploring research questions and developing solutions. I value strong logical and critical thinking skills, as well as a genuine willingness to learn and grow through research. Our work involves substantial machine learning and data analysis, so a solid programming background and basic familiarity with ML concepts are helpful. An interest in computer security is also important, but no prior experience in security hacking is expected.

Q: What should I do if I am interested in working with you?
The best place to start is to read several of our recent papers. If you are interested, please email me a brief introduction, your CV, and a short description of your research interests or background. Due to the volume of emails I receive, I may not be able to respond to all inquiries.

Q: Can master’s or undergraduate students join your group?
Yes. I enjoy working with motivated master’s and undergraduate students who are interested in research. If you are currently a student at ShanghaiTech, you are welcome to reach out by email or take my class to learn more about potential research opportunities.
