I am a first- second- third fourth-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the City University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Jianping Wang. My research focuses on the intersection of autonomous driving security, sensor security, and uncertainty estimation, with a particular interest in robust perception and prediction algorithms for autonomous driving.

Prior to this, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the City University of Hong Kong. I was fortunate to work with Prof. Jianping Wang on adversarial attacks against autonomous driving.

I help maintain the Awesome-Autonomous-Driving-Security paper list, feel free to check it out!
