Last week (with YuanTian, Suhas Diggavi, Zhou (Joe) Li) we hosted the 1st joint UCI-UCLA Privacy Workshop UCI Engineering. The 2nd workshop will be UCLA Samueli Engineering in the Fall. This is part of a broader initiative to strengthen ties between the two Samueli Engineering schools.

I recently got tenure at UCLA! It is an incredible privilege to work with our outstanding students, collaborators, and colleagues. I am deeply grateful to my family, friends, mentors, and the supportive department and university!

All the best for your new endeavors, Suya! It was really great working with you and Dave David Evans during your PhD journey!

In model merging, an attacker can compromise any task of the merged model by using only one compromised model! Excited to share that our new work, “BadMerging: Backdoor Attacks against Model Merging” has been accepted by #CCS2024! Paper link: arxiv.org/pdf/2408.07362

🚨 Did you know that LLM-powered web agents can be tricked into leaking your private data? 🌐⚔️ Our latest work introduces the Environmental Injection Attack (EIA) — a new attack approach that injects malicious content designed to adapt well to different environments, causing

I'll be recruiting PhD students this cycle! If you're interested in working at the intersection of cryptography, differential privacy, and ML, please reach out. I'll also be at ACM CCS 2024 next week—find me if you'd like to chat! RTs appreciated 🙏

I’m planning to hire 2 PhD students in Fall25 at Khoury College of Computer Sciences! How do we make privacy easier for people? How do we address people’s real privacy needs objectively and subjectively? How does AI play a role in introducing and mitigating risks? Talk to me at #UIST2024 #HCOMP2024

My Google colleague and longtime UC Berkeley faculty member David Patterson has a great essay out in this month's Communications of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery):🎉 "Life Lessons from the First Half-Century of My Career Sharing 16 life lessons, and nine magic words." I saw an

Suya has been a great mentor to many students in our lab. He would be a fantastic advisor for students interested in trustworthy ML and ML for security!
