Welcome to S3DI Lab!

The research lab for Secure, Scalable, and ReSponsible Distributed Intelligence (S3DI), led by Prof. Songze Li, works on a wide range of research topics to improve security, scalability, and trustworthiness of distributed computing frameworks, focusing on the applications of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and blockchain.

Our current research areas include:
1) Vulnerabilities and secure protocols for federated learning;
2) Security, privacy, and safety of large language and multi-modal models;
3) Secure multi-party computation;
4) Blockchain scalability and privacy.

We are always looking for strongly motivated PhD and Master students, Undergraduate students, Post-docs, Research assistants, and Visitors/interns to join our lab. Interested applicants please email your CV, transcript, and any related publications to songzeli [at] seu [dot] edu [dot] cn, or songzeli8824 [at] outlook [dot] com.
