I got my Ph.D. degree from Monash University, Australia, in 2020. I am currently a <b>Professor</b> at the School of Cyberspace Science and Technology, Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT), China. Prior to joining BIT, he worked as a Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, from 2021 to 2022. <br/> <br/> 

 My research interests include applied cryptography, federated learning, database security, privacy and trust related to service computing. I have published many papers in top-tier journals and conferences, such as <b>IEEE TIFS, IEEE TDSC, IEEE TCC, IEEE TETC, ACM CCS, and ESORICS</b>. I have served as a Session Chair or Program Committee member for several international conferences, including PROVSEC 2019, NSS 2019, PST 2021, PROVSEC 2021, ADIoT 2022, ACNS-SCI 2023, and PST 2023, ICICS 2025, and SciSec 2026. I also served as an Assistant Guest Editor for the special issue “Emerging Cryptographic Protocols for Blockchain and Its Applications” in MDPI Cryptography, and is a reviewer for leading journals and conferences such as IEEE TIFS, TDSC, TSC, Eurocrypt, and AsiaCrypt.
