First-author, Robust Steganographic System Against Multi-scale Scaling Attacks, IEEE GLOBECOM (accepted 2025).
Project: Robust Steganographic System Against Multi-scale Scaling Attacks (Master’s research, published at IEEE GLOBECOM)
Role & Contribution: Proposed the core idea of an anti-scaling image steganography method; independently implemented the code, conducted experiments, and drafted the manuscript (with advisor’s guidance and revisions).
Duration: About 1 semester (part-time alongside coursework).
Origin: Research direction suggested by my advisor, method design and execution primarily led by me.
Project: LLM-assisted AI Agent (Course Project)
Role & Contribution: Designed and implemented an AI agent framework that leverages large language models to build an arXiv search assistant and a course enrollment assistant, which covered RAG, AI agent and prompt engineering.
Duration: About 1 semester.
Origin: Proposed as a collaborative course project. I contributed mainly to system design and coding.
Project: 3D Material Reconstruction System (Undergraduate Innovation Project)
Role & Contribution: Participated as the 3rd out of 9 members. Focused on learning and improving the reconstruction techniques, preparing demonstrations.
Duration: About 1 semester (joined from mid-phase of the project).
Origin: Project led by faculty from Nanjing Univ. VR & Graphics group.
Outcome: Awarded Provincial First Prize; valuable teamwork experience in a large-scale collaboration.
Project: Adversarial Examples on Radar-Sensed Objects (Team research)
Role & Contribution: Supported a senior student’s project by running experiments, applying adversarial sample attacks on radar-detected objects, and validating results.
Duration: Several months.
Origin: Idea proposed by a PhD student in my lab; I mainly contributed to the experimental work.
Outcome: Contributed as a co-author (4th) in the ongoing paper draft.
Project: Smart Elevator Maintenance Planning (Applied AI project, undergraduate)
Role & Contribution: Assisted in data preprocessing, clustering analysis, and location optimization for new elevator inspection centers in Nanjing.
Duration: Several months (under the guidance of a senior graduate student).
Origin: Industry collaboration with Nanjing Special Equipment Inspection Institute.
Outcome: Supported project delivery to the client; gained practical experience in applied AI and teamwork.
Project : NEMU (Computer Architecture Emulator, Nanjing Univ.)
Role & Contribution: Built a full emulator framework (within provided skeleton) simulating CPU components, registers, floating-point units, and OS-level program execution. Debugged and developed modules independently, eventually enabling the emulator to load small operating systems and run simple games.
Duration: ~1 semester (weekly lab assignments 2–5 hrs each).
Origin: Lab for CS systems class, executed individually.
Outcome: Achieved a functioning emulator capable of running simple operating systems and games.
