About me

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Applied and Creative Computing at Purdue University. I received a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Arizona State University in 2020, a M.S. in Computer Science & Technology from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2015, and a B.E. in Software Engineering from Hangzhou Dianzi University in 2012. My primary research focuses on AI security, as well as security and privacy issues in networked, mobile, and distributed systems.

I am currently seeking highly self-motivated Ph.D. students to join my research projects in the fields of security, machine learning, and mobile sensing. If students have prior experience in deep learning or signal processing, it would be a significant advantage. Interested students are encouraged to send their CVs, transcripts (both undergraduate and graduate, if applicable), TOEFL/IELTS scores, and any other materials they believe would be helpful to litao@purdue.edu. For more information, please visit our Ph.D. program in Computer and Information Technology. Please contact me only if you meet the English proficiency requirements, including both the overall score and all required subscores.
