I am currently a graduate student at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Weiming Zhang and Prof. Kejiang Chen. My research centers on AI Security & Multimedia Forensics, with a current focus on AI-generated content (AIGC) forensics, and the security of large models.

Previously, I received my B.E. from the School of Cyber Science and Engineering (SCSE) at Wuhan University (WHU). In June 2022, I joined the AISec Lab, where I was privileged to be mentored by Prof. Run Wang.

On this homepage you can find my research, publications, and honors. Broadly, I am interested in adversarial machine learning, ownership verification of DNNs, multimedia forensics, and the trustworthiness of generative models. I have been lucky to collaborate with Yan Cai, Weifeng Liu, and Boheng Li.
