Enthusiast for building Reliable and Security AI systems

Welcome!I am Jie Peng, a Ph.D Student in Computer Science, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), advised by Prof. Tao Ni (Tony).

I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Cybersecurity, Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), co-advised by Prof. Hui He and Prof. Weizhe Zhang.

My research mainly focuses on reliable and interpretable machine learning, especially adversarial learning and conformal prediction, check my CV (PDF) for more information.
