I am a Ph.D student in the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Beihang University (BUAA), China, and my PhD supervisor is Xingxing Wei. Before that, I received B.S. degree in the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Beihang University (BUAA), China.

My research interest includes, LLMs and MLLMs safety, knowledge distillation, adversarial attack, adversarial robustness in machine learning.

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in any collaboration. My e-mail: zhaoshiji123@buaa.edu.cn.
