Peiran Wang @THU
I’m Peiran Wang (王沛然 in Chinese, you can speak as “Pei-than, Wang”), a student who is interested in AI Security (especially security for LLM recently), Machine Learning System, and AI for security (mainly for PLSE). I am pursuing master degree in cybersecurity in Tsinghua University. I graduated from Sichuan University in Cybersecurity Talented Class in 2022 (18/172). During my undergraduate, I got National Scholarship (3/172), and got GPA of 3.92 (rank 2/172).
I am actively seeking for PhD position in 2025 Fall, please send me an email if you are interested in working with me.
