I am Xiaoyi Chen, a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Peking University advised by Prof. Zhonghai Wu. I was a visiting student at CISPA - Helmholtz Center for Information Security during October 2019 - October 2020, advised by Prof. Michael Backes and Dr. Yang Zhang. Previously, I got my bachelor degree in Chongqing University in 2016 and I graduated from Zhengzhou Foreign Language school, Henan, China in 2012.
My research interests widely spread in the intersection areas of AI and security, including security and privacy of machine learning, and the application of machine learning techniques in security related domains. Specifically, recent days I focus on the backdoor attacks and defenses against DNN models.
