Elwood’s website

I am a PhD student at State Key Laboratory of Complex and Critical Software Environment at the Beihang University (BUAA), advised by Prof. Dacheng Tao and Prof. Xianglong Liu. I also work closely with Prof. Aishan Liu.

Prior to BUAA, I obtained my M.Sc. from the School of Cyber Security, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. I also served as a research assistant at the State Key Laboratory of Information Security, Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Before that, I had internship experience at SIP Lab@Sangfor and 360 Security Research Labs@Qihoo. I serve as a reviewer for top-tier conferences and journals, including NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, TIFS, TDSC, CVPR, ACL, AISTATS, COLING, ECCV, and EMNLP.

Research Interests

• Trustworthy Machine Learning (Safety, Privacy, Security and etc.)
• Cyberspace Security (Software security, Network security, IoT security and etc.)

Annocement

I am always willing to work together on interesting projects with external collaborators. Drop me an email if you are interested!
