I am a Lecturer (i.e., Assistant Professor in the US System) at the School of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Griffith University, Australia. Before joining Griffith in Feb 2025, I was with the School of Computing Technologies, RMIT University. I obtained my Ph.D. from the Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University, Australia. I have broad interests in the development of Cyber Security such as (1) Security for AI and (2) Trustworthy AI Systems, including:
Privacy-preserving technologies (e.g., MPC) in addressing AI Security issues;
Individual trustworthiness aspects such as robustness, explainability, privacy, and fairness;
The intricate interplay among them, such as the trade-offs between fairness and privacy.
If you are interested in these topics, please feel free to contact me.
