Hi, I am Milin Zhang (张 敉霖), a 4th-year PhD Candidate at Northeastern University, working in the Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things (WIoT), advised by Francesco Restuccia. I received my M.S. in electrical engineering at Syracuse University in 2021. I received B.S. at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in 2018.
📌 I'm graduating in 2026 and looking for research position.
Research Interest:
I am broadly interested in the intersection between artificial intelligence and wireless communication. My PhD research spans:
- AI Security: adversarial robustness, out-of-distribution detection, on-device model protection
- Efficient AI in Distributed Systems: split computing, semantic communication
- AI-Driven Wireless: spectrum sensing, RF fingerprinting, integrated sensing and communication
