Biography
Hi! I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, advised by Prof. Anh Tuan Luu . I received my PhD degree in 2024 from Jinan University, where I was advised by Prof. Weiqi Luo and Prof. Jinming Wen . During my PhD, I also spent one year as a visiting student and six months as a research assistant at Nanyang Technological University. My research interests include Backdoor Attack, Natural Language Processing, Summary Generation, Code Generation, and Radiology Report Summarization.
Note: I am always interested in working with self-motivated students. If you have a strong interest in natural language processing and model security, please feel free to contact me.
