Yining Eddie Shi

I am a rising senior at the University of Michigan. My academic interests lie in Computer Security. In particular, I am interested in studying Anti-censorship Internet Measurement, Infrastructure Systems (such as IoT), and privacy-preserving adversarial methods to defend against privacy violation attacks from commercial Machine Learning (ML) models- your information privacy right matters and you should be able to defend yourself!

I am currently collaborating with Patrick Tser Jern Kon and Wyatt Ashley on a novel circumvention strategy, Nexus: utilizing packet-fragmenting algorithms against on-path attacks and billions of IoT networks to disrupt traffic surveillance from nation-state censors. Check out our Poster!

If you’d like, also take a look at my research statement!

To know more about me as a person beyond my academic endeavor! :D
