I'm a 2nd-year Ph.D. student [ CV] in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan supervised by Professor Z. Morley Mao. I got my bacholar degree from Zhiyuan College at Shanghai Jiao Tong University advised by Professor Xiaohua Tian. I spent my summer semester of 2016 as an exchange student at the University of Washington. I was fortunate to work with Professor Haitham Hassanieh as a research intern at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the summer of 2017.

My research interests are broadly in cyber-physical security, networked systems, and deep learning, with a current focus on the emerging autonomous driving technology. Perception plays a pivotal role in autonomous driving due to its direct impact on safety-critical decisions. However, the security of perception is not well studied. I am exploring the potential vulnerabilities of state-of-the-art perception systems, and trying to address them afterwards.
