Research Experience
  • Serving as the HDR representative for the CSS discipline. Involved in multiple research projects including AI model usage control and neural network verification.
Education
  • Graduated from the University of Adelaide with a B.CS (Adv.) in 2022. Currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Queensland, supervised by A/Prof. Guangdong Bai and Dr. Jason Xue.
Background
  • Research interests: tackling real-world security & privacy issues of ML systems in a formally verifiable manner. Works closely with colleague Zhongkui Ma on neural network verification (NNV). Current projects include AI Model Usage Control, Neuron-level Usage Control (CoreLocker), Logit-level Model Modulation (AIM), Neural Network Verification (WRAACT), Algorithmic Purpose Limitation (AlgoSpec), Token-level Gradient Inversion (Grab), Multi-modal Membership Inference (M⁴I), Model Pruning (CoreLocker), and Knowledge Distillation (BPKD). Currently serving as the HDR representative for the CSS discipline.
