Good morning, dear professors. My name is Liu Yang. It is a great honor to be here.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Communication Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2017, and my Master of Commerce in Finance from the University of New South Wales in 2021.

I currently work at the People's Bank of China, Qinghai Branch, responsible for financial research and banking information security management.

My research focuses on AI security and deep learning. I have published 3 SCI papers, including one as first author on physics-aware adversarial defense for autonomous driving. I also hold one invention patent and received the First Prize of the PBOC Youth Research Award in 2025.

My motivation for pursuing a PhD is rooted in my practical experience at the central bank, where I have witnessed the growing challenges of AI-era financial security. I aim to conduct systematic research on LLM security and financial AI safety, leveraging advanced AI tools like Claude Code for efficient research.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
