Hi there 👋👋 ! I’m Ming Sun (孙铭). I am currently pursuing my Ph.D at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, supervised by Prof. Rui Wang. Currently, I am a visiting Ph.D. student at the Centre for Frontier AI Research (CFAR), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore, collaborating with Dr. Xingrui Yu. Previously, I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

My research mainly focuses on Trustworthy Machine Learning. In my early research, I devoted myself to backdoor attacks and their positive purposes. Currently, my research centers on trustworthy issues of generative AI (e.g., LLMs and Diffusion Models). My long-term goal is to explore general vulnerabilities in generative AI and strive to enhance the safety and security of foundation models.
