Hi visitor! I am Ronghua Li (李镕骅，or call me Cory), currently a postdoctoral researcher at NAISS lab. I finished my PhD at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, advised by Prof. Haibo Hu. During my Ph.D., I joined the NOISE lab as a visiting student at UChicago, advised by Nick Feamster. I got my master’s degree from KTH, Sweden, advised by Panos Papadimitratos. My main research focuses on network data modeling and their security/privacy implications, LLM data analysis and synthesis. I’m very open to AI/network/security collaborations; feel free to reach out to me via email or WeChat (lrh893304167)!
