I am a Lecturer (US Assistant Professor equivalent) at the School of Computing Technologies, RMIT University. I earned my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from RMIT University under the supervision of Prof. Xun Yi. Dr. Liu's research focuses on the design, analysis, and fielding of the privacy-enhancing technologies to address data privacy and security issues.

[RA/MPhil/Ph.D. Positions Available] I am looking for self-motivated students in AI Privacy and Security, Secure Multi-Party Computation. If interested, please email me your CV and transcripts.

Research

My current research focuses on secure multi-party computation and its applications in privacy-preserving machine learning. My goal is to build impactful work that is expected to push forward the deployment of PPML on practical usages like medical diagnostics and mobile image classification. My design philosophy is:

• Devising lightweight and fundamental secure computation protocols resort to advanced cryptographic techniques. I am particularly interested in secure multiparty computation, function secret sharing, zero knowledge proof.
• Building secure and practical PPML systems that harness the insights from computer systems, cryptography, machine learning. I conduct interdisciplinary research empowering versatile real-world service scenarios, like MLaaS (MediSC, CryptMed, OblivGNN), outsourced cloud computation (Sonic, EncSIM), mobile-edge computing (Leia), collaborative computation over distributed data ([ESORICS'19], [TDSC'20]).
