Chenwang Wu

Ph.D. Candidate at USTC

I got my Ph.D. degree advised by Prof. Defu Lian, at the School of Data Science, University of Science and Technology of China in 2024. I got my B.S. degree from the Fuzhou University in 2018.

My research interests include data mining, especially on recommender System Security.
