Hello! I am Quan Shi, a PhD student at the National University of Singapore (NUS), advised by Prof. Biplab Sikdar and Dr. Prosanta Gope.

My research focuses on next-generation network systems and security, including 5G, 6G, and satellite networks. I am also interested in AI, including large language models, agents, and embodied AI, with a strong foundation in cryptography and algorithm design.

My work has appeared at USENIX Security, IEEE S&P, and ACM CCS. My leading work, LPG, received the Distinguished Paper Award at USENIX Security 2026.

Before NUS, I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in 2024.

I am excited to collaborate on network security and AI. Please feel free to get in touch!
