I received my PhD degree in October 2018 from Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Rutgers University. I joined Computer Engineering PhD program in 2013 fall and started working in the Rutgers Human-Computer Interaction and Security Engineering Lab (also part of WINLAB research center) supervised by Prof. Janne Lindqvist. My major research interest is privacy and security engineering in applications on driving, data transmitting, and online information sharing. I'm specially interested in applying mathematical, statistical, and machine learning models to solve problems related to human-computer interaction.
