Hi, I am Xinyue, and I go by Vera. I am a Ph.D. student at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, co-advised by Michael Backes and Yang Zhang. My research interests lie in Trustworthy Machine Learning Security. Currently, I focus on studying the security, privacy, and safety of generative AIs through data-driven measurement, and on developing innovative solutions to address these challenges. I am a recipient of the Abbe Grant from the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung Foundation. My research has been featured in major media outlets such as New Scientist, Deutschlandfunk Nova, TheCyberExpress, The Decoder, MAIEI, and more.
Previously, I was an Algorithm Engineer at Alibaba Security Department. I obtained my bachelor degree from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). I am also a sci-fiction writer and have published 40+ novels and popular-science articles on Science Fiction World, Exploration Discovery, and so on.
