I received my Ph.D. degree and Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from City University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Jianping Wang.

My research lies at the intersection of AI security, sensor security, and uncertainty estimation, with a particular focus on vulnerability analysis, physical attacks, and defense strategies for autonomous driving systems.
