I received my B.S. degree in 2017 from Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU) and my Ph.D. degree in 2022 from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), under the supervision of Prof. Nenghai Yu and Prof. Weiming Zhang.
I am currently an Associate Professor at Hefei University of Technology (HFUT).
My research interests include information hiding and AI security.
