About
Hi there! This is Yifei Zhang.
I am expected to become a PhD candidate at the Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (starting from Sept. 2026), with Prof. Guozhu Meng as my supervisor. Feel free to drop me an email! You can reach me at yifeizhang@mail.nankai.edu.cn.
My research interest is mainly information security, with a focus on AI security and AI for security. My previous research interest includes authentication and password security, specifically password strength evaluation and honey vault schemes.
I received my Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from Nankai University (Jun. 2026), under the supervision of Prof. Ding Wang and Dr. Zhenduo Hou. You can find my thesis here. The thesis is in Chinese, if you find any issues in my thesis, or have problem in reproducing the proposed methods, feel free to contact me.
One purpose of this site is to collected useful things (posts, articles, technical blogs, etc.) that I ran accross. Particularly, I find it very time consuming to look up others’ blog posts for problems that I run into occasionally and repeatedly, especially mudane and trivial routinary tasks such as setting up a proxy for virtual machines. Posts and articles for this purpose are mostly reposts of other blog post, serving as a manual that might come in handy.
Another purpose of this site is to keep track of what I do. Consider posts and articles of this kind as parts of my journal. They may be useful for others, but I mainly keep them here to keep track of things I did.
