Danyu Sun

I am a second year Ph.D. student in Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at University of California, Irvine. My advisor is Prof. Zhou Li.

My research interests include security and privacy, with a recent focus on differential privacy and LLM-driven security applications.

Previously, I received my Master Degree at Duke University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Ashwin Machanavajjhala and Prof. Sudeepa Roy. And I received my my B.S. Degree at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
