Wenbo Jiang is currently an Associate Professor at the School of Computer Science and Engineering (School of Cyber Science and Engineering), University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). He received his B.E., M.E., and Ph.D. degrees in Cybersecurity from the School of Computer Science and Engineering at UESTC. During his Master’s and Ph.D. studies, he was supervised by Prof. Hongwei Li (IEEE Fellow). From 2021 to 2022, he was funded by the China Scholarship Council (CSC) to pursue joint doctoral training at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, where he worked with Prof. Tianwei Zhang. In recent years, he has been actively engaged in AI security research. He has published over 50 papers on AI security in top-tier international journals and conferences, including 18 CCF-A publications. His work has appeared in leading security conferences such as ACM CCS and USENIX Security, top AI conferences such as CVPR, ICML, NeurIPS, and AAAI, and premier security journals such as IEEE TDSC and IEEE TIFS. More information is available at:  https://wenbo-jiang.github.io/
