Welcome!

🧐 About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student at Beihang University (BUAA), School of Cyber Science and Technology, supervised by Prof. Yanqing Yao. I am also very fortunate to work closely with Prof. Di Wang, who directs the PRADA Lab at KAUST, and with Dr. Youming Tao, who is now a postdoctoral researcher in the Telecommunication Networks (TKN) Group at TU Berlin. Previously, I received my B.Eng. degree in Information Security from Xidian University (XDU), School of Cyber Engineering in June 2023.

My research interests include Machine Unlearning and Differential Privacy-based Privacy Preservation for federated learning. In the area of machine unlearning, my work primarily revolves around efficient and effective federated unlearning and efficient and effective LLM unlearning. In the field of differential privacy-based privacy preservation for federated learning, I have recently been focusing on the design of high-availability differential privacy aggregation algorithms to enhance federated learning systems.

✨ Miscellaneous

Apart from academic pursuits, I enjoy a wide range of sports such as swimming, cycling, badminton and ping-pong. Additionally, I am a passionate photographer, always seeking to capture the beauty of the world through my lens. One of my special hobbies is that I love all things about deduction and suspense, especially I am a fan of the anime 名探偵コナン (Detective Conan, 名侦探柯南) and the TV series Detective Dee (神探狄仁杰)!
