A bit disappointed about the #NDSS rebuttal process. My students put in relentless effort, addressing every review comment, and conducting new experiments, yet our paper was rejected without any feedback on the rebuttal. 'Comments after Rebuttal' would foster valuable discussion.

Had an amazing team-building event with my students. Bowling, good food, and great conversation. Looking forward to more fun activities together in the future. #MoSIS

In 2021, more than 1,862 data breaches affected nearly 294 million Americans. UT-ORII Power Player Jian Liu is looking for a reliable way of using federated learning to mitigate the privacy risks to sensitive data in machine learning

Thrilled to share that we have 3 papers accepted at IEEE S&P/Oakland'23, AsiaCCS'23 & ICASSP'23! Led by my talented students, topics include AR/VR privacy leakage, utility/privacy in FL, and speech leakage in FL. w/ collaborators from Rutgers, TAMU, Intuit AI Research & Google.

Had an amazing time giving a talk at Brigham Young University. Engaging conversations with their brilliant faculty and students made for a truly memorable visit. Thank you, Kent Seamons, for the invitation and for organizing such a wonderful visit! #BYU #LDS

I will be attending ACM CCS'22 in Los Angeles next week. Please reach out if you want to have a chat. Our work on 'Hidden Spy Camera Detection' will be presented in Session 8G. Two posters on adversarial attacks against speech AI models will be presented as well! #ccs

Glad to share that our paper 'HeatDeCam: Detecting Hidden Spy Cameras via Thermal Emissions' has been accepted to CCS'22. w/ collaborators from WUSTL. ACM CCS 2024

#CVPR22 Attending the first in-person conference since the pandemic. Hope I won't need to use the self-test in the following days..

Glad to share that our MobiCom'21 paper 'BioFace-3D: Continuous 3D Facial Reconstruction Through Lightweight Single-ear Biosensors' has been selected for ACM SIGMOBILE Research Highlights 2022. It will be also highlighted in the next issue of GetMobile. youtube.com/watch?v=o1L0hD…

Two papers about privacy-preserving speech-based healthcare with federated learning were accepted at EMBC'22, the flagship conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Kudos to my two first-year PhD students, w/ collaborators at Google and ORNL Jiaxin Zhang.

'Auditing Privacy Defenses in Federated Learning via Generative Gradient Leakage' Pre-print: arxiv.org/abs/2203.15696 Code: github.com/zhuohangli/GGL Hope it can serve as a tool for empirically measuring the amount of privacy leakage to facilitate the design of more robust defenses.

Never thought I would get a chance to be that close to a Turing Award winner. Congratulations to Jack Dongarra for this prestigious honor! #ACMTuringAward

A University of Tennessee professor won the Turing Award 🤯! Congratulations, Jack!

Very excited to see that our paper has been accepted to CVPR 2022. This is the “ground-breaking” work (the first CVPR paper in my group), led by my great student, w/ collaborators from Google Research and ORNL. Stay tuned! #CVPR2022

Our recent collaborative work in this year MobiCom.

Feel the same. Started in Fall 2019. I feel I cannot *really* work with a newborn at home during the pandemic.

Thrilled to receive an NSF award before the winter break w/ collaborators from UT Chattanooga and VCU. Thanks to U.S. National Science Foundation for supporting our mobile biosensing research in food manufacturing. This is my third NSF grant since my son was born in July this year. Feeling so blessed!

'Byzantine-robust FL' - The first paper in the field of Federated Learning in my group. Led by Zhuohang, w/ collaborators from Google Research and ORNL. Jiaxin Zhang Looking forward to more pubs in this field! arxiv.org/abs/2107.01477
