Research summary

Wenhai Sun's research focuses on security and privacy in computing systems, including differential privacy (methods that add statistical noise to protect individuals' data), federated learning security, blockchain and distributed ledger systems, and attacks/defenses involving machine learning models and encrypted network traffic. Much of the work examines how privacy-preserving techniques and decentralized systems can be attacked (e.g., data poisoning, backdoor attacks) and how to make them more robust.
