I am currently an Associate Professor with School of Computer Science and Engineering at Chongqing University of Technology, and leading the Adversarial Machine Learning Group (AdvML-Group).

I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University of Texas at Arlington (UT Arlington) under the supervision of Prof. Chris H.Q. Ding in May 2020. Before that, I received my master degree in Computer Science from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) under the supervision of Prof. Quan Wen in June 2014, and received my bachelor degree in Computer Science from Sichuan Agricultural University (SICAU) in June 2011.

My primary research interests are machine learning, optimization, AI security, and Explainable AI, aiming at developing robust learning models and efficient optimization algorithms to solve real-world problems in various scenarios, such as sparse learning, representation learning, subspace learning, graph learning, multi-granularity learning, large-scale optimization, nonlinear optimization, adaptive optimization, bilevel optimization, sharpness-aware optimization, adversarial attack, adversarial training, adversarial purification, out-of-distribution detection, AI-generated content detection, neuron attribution, counterfactual analysis, etc.
