I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering (CEMSE) Division, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). I am also affiliated with the KAUST Center of Excellence for Generative AI (GenAI). Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the City University of Hong Kong, where I earned my PhD. I completed my Master's degree from the Australian National University (ANU), and my Bachelor's degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).

My research lies in the cross-discipline of cybersecurity and AI, including (1) AI safety and AI for security (e.g., adversarial attacks and defenses, LLM/VLM security, agentic AI security), (2) System security (e.g., IoT, eXtended Reality (XR), and robotics systems), and (3) Low-power and battery-free IoT in mobile computing.
