Hanyu Zhu

This is Hanyu Zhu. I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. I obtained my bachelor's degree from Sichuan University.

My current research interests center on security and privacy in machine learning and artificial intelligence. In particular, I focus on developing and analyzing novel attack and defense methods for (multimodal) large language models (LLMs/MLLMs), as well as their applications in real-world systems (e.g., ISAC, 6G wireless, embodied intelligence).
