Yichao Tang (汤毅超)

Robust Watermarking; Reversible Data Hiding; AIGC Security

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Multimedia & Artificial Intelligence Security Laboratory (MAS), School of Computer Science, Fudan University, under the supervision of Prof. Xinpeng Zhang and Prof. Zhenxing Qian.

I obtained my Ph.D degree from South China Agricultural University (SCAU), where I studied Information Security and Digital Watermarking under the supervision of Prof. Chuntao Wang. Additionally, I was fortunate to receive guidance from Prof. Kangshun Li. During my Ph.D studies, I visited Hong Kong Baptist University for academic exchange and collaborated with Prof. Yiu-ming Cheung.

I obtained my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from East China Jiaotong University (ECJTU). There, I studied Evolutionary Algorithms under the guidance of Prof. Xuewen Xia.

My research results have been published in several top-tier journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (T-IFS), IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology (T-CSVT), IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (T-MM), and Information Sciences (INS). I serve as a reviewer for many SCI journals, such as T-IP, T-IFS, T-CSVT, T-MM, T-ASE, Information Fusion, and AAAI.

My research interests include robust watermarking, reversible data hiding, and AIGC security. For academic cooperation, please feel free to email me at yichao_tang@foxmail.com
