Yucheng Yin | Ph.D., Carnegie Mellon University

About Me

I defended my Ph.D. thesis in October 2024 and have joined Conviva as a Senior Software Engineer.

I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), advised by Prof. Vyas Sekar, and was part of Cylab, CMU’s Security and Privacy Institute. I also work closely with Prof. Giulia Fanti.

Prior to joining CMU, I receive a dual bachelor’s degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (ECE) and the University of Michigan (CSE) where I was advised by Prof. Z. Morley Mao and Prof. Qi Alfred Chen.

Research Interests

My research interests include the application of Machine Learning (especially Deep Generative Models) to networking, security, and systems.
