Biography

I am currently a Master candidate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Through research, I understand more about security and privacy issues in this technological era, especially when sensitive information is involved in Machine Learning, Data Analytics, Autonomous Vehicles, and the Internet of Things. From my perspective, eventually, security and privacy play a crucial role in any technological products and services as people might be hesitant to use a product without any privacy protection. Therefore, I am highly motivated to learn and contribute more to the knowledge in this field. I am open to widening my knowledge, and my research interests include Reliability, Security, Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning, Multiagent Systems, and Game Theory
