Kang succesfully defended his thesis on backdooring attacks and defenses for deep learning. Kang’s thesis work resulted in the first defense in literature against deep neural network backdoors, along with an investigation of security vulnerabilities inherent in ML for design automation and deep learning based privacy-preserving tools. Congrats Dr. Liu! Kang has accepted a faculty position at Huazhong University in China — we’re all excited to see what he does next!
