I am a graduate student in iQua at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the University of Toronto,advised by Baochun Li. I received my bachelor degree from Department of CSE in Shanghai Jiao Tong University. During my undergraduate studies, I was a research intern at John Hopcroft Center for Computer Science, advised by Liyao Xiang. Previously, I took a research fellowship at Max Planck Society, advised by Yiting Xia and Binghang Yuan.

My research focuses on privacy-preserving machine learning in distributed systems. My research interest includes data privacy, system security, Trustworthy ML, and decentralized trust technologies. I’m interested in solving problems with real-world use cases, facilitating full-stack solutions for data privacy and system security in modern decentralized and AI oriented ecosystem. Here are some examples of my constributions:

  • How can we realize privacy-preserving split learning and have as much as possible tradeoff for privacy, accuracy and efficiency? CVPR, ICDM.
  • How can we improve the performance of Federated Learning, without compromising the privacy requirements? AAAI, ICDCS.
  • Open-sourced distributed systems for privacy-preserving machine learning. IMWUT, ICDCS.
