Mentor Topic introductions:  Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, 6G networking, and quantum computing are the leading forces in bringing the world to the era of better intelligence and full automation. However, the rapid development of such technologies raises concerns that they could be used to damage human life, destroy critical infrastructure, and further violate user privacy. For example, AI power can be exploited to scan the vulnerabilities of critical control systems (SCADA, ITS) or track a target user in a restricted access building, even without physical intrusion. Similarly, the attackers can launch adversarial attacks against AI-based Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and force connected vehicles to act as unexpected weapons to hit civilians. Early detection of security attacks and secure AI models are the top targets of many current research efforts. In short, our lab is recruiting talents who are interested in the following topics: 

(1) AI for Good: Computer vision, Network Intelligence/6G,  Autonomous Driving

(2) AI for Cybersecurity: Misbehavior detection in autonomous vehicles, Deep Reinforcement Learning for aerial-assisted networks (UAV-satellite-space) or Intelligent Transportation Systems, Self-supervised Learning, autoDL /ML for Intrusion Detection Systems.

(3) Cybersecurity for AI: Trustable AI for automated vehicles and AI-based control systems from adversarial attacks.

(4) 6G security: Signal sensing, physical layer authentication, high-accuracy localization and sensing.

(5) Space and Quantum security: Blockchain for vehicular/aerial networks; Quantum - safe vehicular/aerial networks; Quantum - compatible IDS platforms.

What you will do during the internship period

1. Read/survey the international papers on selected topics, e.g., Explainable AI, WiFi sensing

2. Do programming for mini projects on selected topics: e.g., AI models for preventing adversarial attacks

3. Suggest novel/creative ideas to enhance assigned mini-projects

4. Report the results in a professional manner, for example, in LateX writing, IEEE Trans format

5. Attend several industry tours, Chinese courses, or research culture introductions.
