Yugeng Liu

I am a final-year Ph.D. student at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, co-supervised by Prof. Michael Backes and Dr. Yang Zhang. My research aims to discover and understand the important security, privacy, and safety issues in ML systems through data-oriented analysis, as well as to design and develop innovative solutions to address them.

Prior to joining CISPA, I was a visiting scholar at The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) in 2019, supervised by Prof. Yinzhi Cao. I graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) with the Bachelor's degree of Computer Science and Technology in 2018. I spent about two years at NSEC Lab in SJTU, supervised by Prof. Haojin Zhu. My prior work at NSEC Lab focused on novel techniques to enhance the security and privacy of IoT networks.
