I am currently a Master student majoring in Computer Technology at ZJU-UIUC Joint Institute, Zhejiang University, advised by Prof. Hongwei Wang. I work closely with Prof. Shiqing Ma @ UMass Amherst and Prof. Yongfeng Zhang @ Rutgers.

My research interests lie at:

• Machine Learning: Deep Learning, e.g., Incremental Learning, Contrastive Learning, Anomaly/Out-of-Distribution Detection; Knowledge Graph
• Trustworthy Machine Learning: LLM Agent Security, Adversarial(Backdoor) Attack/Defense;
• AI/ML+X: AI for Industrial Fault Diagnosis, AI for Healthcare

I consistently seek simple yet effective methods, grounded in deep insights and supported by strong theoretical foundations.
