Xilong Wang

I'm currently a first-year PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, supervised by Prof. Neil Gong. Prior to that, I earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2024.

I am broadly interested in various areas of security, privacy, and artificial intelligence, including LLM agent security, secure federated learning, and related topics.
