Yin Xu

Hi, there. I am Yin Xu (徐殷), a three-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), supervised by Prof. Mingjun Xiao. I am also lucky to have opportunities to collaborate with Prof. Jie Wu (Professor, Temple University, Fellow of IEEE/AAAS), Haisheng Tan (Professor, USTC) , An Liu (Professor, Soochow University), Sheng Zhang (Associate Professor, Nanjing University) , and Guoju Gao (Associate Professor, Soochow University).

My research interests include mobile computing systems (e.g., Crowdsensing and data trading), privacy preservation (e.g., Differential privacy and federated learning), and game theory (e.g., Auction and Stackelberg game). I have published several academic papers in top-tier international conferences and journals, including IEEE INFOCOM, IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, IEEE Internet of Things Journal, etc.

We warmly welcome diligent, self-disciplined, and proactive undergraduate and graduate students to join our warm team! If you are interested in my research, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
