I’m a postdoc research associate from University of Technology Sydney (UTS), still supervised by Prof. Shui Yu.

My research interest is privacy and security in machine learning. During my PhD period, I mainly focused on machine unlearning.

1. Machine Unlearning:
   • New Algorithms for Machine Unlearning and Federated Unlearning
   • Prevent Privacy Leakage during Machine Unlearning
   • Auditing and Verification of Machine Unlearning
