About Me

I am a second-year CS Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), advised by Prof. Xiaojing Liao. My research focuses on the intersection of AI and security. Specifically, I am interested in

• securing LLMs and agentic systems, and
• building agentic systems to protect large-scale systems.

Previously, I received my B.E. and M.S. degrees from Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Qi Li.

Recently, I have been thinking hard about how AI will change cybersecurity. Please reach out if you have similar interests!
