I am a first-year PhD student in the College of IST at Penn State University, advised by Professor Yuchen Yang.

Previously, I received my Bachelor’s Degree of Computer Science at RPI, where I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Lei Yu.

💡Research Interests:

• ML Privacy: Machine Learning models should not reveal information beyond what's necessary to carry out the task. We want to minimize the risk of disclosing sensitive details to adversaries.
• Adversarial ML: Exploring methods to generate adversarial examples that intentionally manipulate machine learning systems to behave in ways that align with an adversary’s objectives, compromising the system’s intended functionality.

Topics I have investigated:

• Example difficulty in the image domain.
• Membership Inference Attacks to Traditional ML.
• Membership Inference Attacks to LLM.
• Adversarial prompts to LLM.
• LLM alignment faking.

Preprint:
