I am currently a third-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:
· Agent Trace-to-Skill Anti-Distillation [Preprint]
· Unlearnable videos against diffusion-based customization [Preprint]
· Survey for 3DGS IP protection [Preprint]
· Protecting 3DGS assets against diffusion-based editing [ICML 2026 (Spotlight)]
👉 IP protection for AI models via non-transferable learning (NTL):
· Benchmark for NTL [IJCAI 2025 (Survey Track)]
· NTL vs data-free knowledge distillation [ICML 2025]
· Black-box robustness of NTL models [CVPR 2025]
· White-box robustness analysis of NTL [CVPR 2024 (Highlight)]
· Causal-inspired NTL method [ICLR 2024 (Spotlight)]
👉 Generative model safety:
· Jailbreaking commercial I2V models via visual instruction [Preprint]
· Harmful conflicts in T2I generation [CVPR 2026]
💥 Jun 2026: We are organizing the ECCV 2026 Workshop on LifeGenIP: Life-Cycle Intellectual Property Governance of Visual Generative Models, to be held in Malmö, Sweden, in September 2026. Paper submissions for the workshop and participation in the Unlearnable Videos Competition are now open. Welcome to join us!
