I am currently a second-year Ph.D. candidate in the School of Computer Science at The University of Sydney, supervised by Prof. Tongliang Liu. I obtained my master's degree from the School of Electronic Information and Communications, Huazhong University of Science and Technology and my bachelor's degree from the School of Information Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology.
My research focuses on Trustworthy AI, with a particular emphasis on Intellectual Property (IP) protection:
👉 Data-centric IP protection: (1) Active protection for 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) assets against editing [Preprint].
👉 IP protection for AI models via non-transferable learning (NTL): (1) Benchmark for NTL [IJCAI 2025 (Survey Track)]; (2) NTL vs data-free knowledge distillation [ICML 2025]; (3) Black-box robustness of NTL models [CVPR 2025]; (4) White-box robustness analysis of NTL [CVPR 2024 (Highlight)]; (5) Causal-inspired NTL method [ICLR 2024 (Spotlight)].
