Hello World.

Hi! This is Yanghao ZHANG, a researcher & a software engineer.

I am a second-year PhD student studying at Exeter Trustworthy AI Lab, University of Exeter, supervised by Dr. Wenjie Ruan and Prof. Richard Everson. Before transferring to Exeter, I start my PhD study in January at Lancaster University. My research interests include adversarial attacks, safaty verification and robust machine learning (ML) applications for safety-critical systems.

Before starting my PhD, I achieved MSc Artificial Intelligence with distinction at University of Southampton, and BEng Software Engineering from Huizhou University.

(11/2020) Our paper "Fooling Object Detectors: Adversarial Attacks by Half-Neighbor Masks" has been accepted by CIKM 2020 AnalytiCup Workshop.
(09/2020) Continue my PhD study at University of Exeter.
(08/2020) Our paper "Generalizing Universal Adversarial Attacks Beyond Additive Perturbations" has been accepted by ICDM 2020.
(08/2020) Will move to University of Exeter to continue my PhD study.
(01/2020) Our paper "Dual Sparse Learning via Data Augmentation for Robust Facial Image Classification" has been accepted by International Journal of Machine Learning and Cybernetics.
(01/2020) Start my PhD study at Lancaster University.

(11/2019) Spent three months with Huawei Edinburgh Research Centre working on consistency checking in knowledge graph.
(12/2019) Graduated from University of Southampton, awarded the degree of Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence with distinction.
(07/2019) Attended the HK PhD Fellowship Summer Workshop in CUHK.
