Jianshuo Dong (董建硕)

Hi! I'm a PhD student at Tsinghua University, where I explore machine learning security, trustworthy AI systems, and explainable AI. I'm advised by Prof. Han Qiu and collaborate closely with Prof. Tianwei Zhang. I'm always excited to connect with fellow researchers and practitioners—feel free to reach out!
