About me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong, supervised by Chair Professor Xiaohua JIA (IEEE Fellow). Prior to that, I earned a B.E. degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in June 2022, and obtained a M.E. degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in June 2025, supervised by Professor Shengshan Hu of the TAI group. My research interest focuses on Trustworthy LLM, Trustworthy Embodied AI, Unlearnable Examples, Backdoor/Poison Learning. I am always open for any research communication and cooperation, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested. Email address: xianlong.wang at my.cityu.edu.hk
