Zhaoyu Wang

Welcome to my homepage!

I am a second-year Ph.D. student at Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), under the supervision of Prof. Shuai Wang. Prior to joining HKUST, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in data science and technology from Tongji University, Shanghai, China in 2023. My research interests include privacy-preserving machine learning and sofware engineering.

I can be reached at zwangjz at cse dot ust dot hk.
