😊 About Me

I am a Lecturer in the School of Computer Science at Guangdong University of Technology, focusing on data/model integrity verification, blockchain-based trusted computing, and edge intelligence.
I received my Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence from Macau University of Science and Technology in 2024 and previously worked at Tencent, where I helped build WeChat Pay’s fraud-detection backend.
I am looking for motivated students and collaborators—feel free to reach me at lijian@gdut.edu.cn.
