Biography

I’m Enhao, a researcher and builder working at the intersection of AI security and intelligent systems.

I am a PhD student in Computer Science and Technology at Zhejiang University, advised by Prof. Kui Ren at the State Key Laboratory of Blockchain and Data Security. I received my B.E. in Information Security from Zhejiang University in 2026.

My research focuses on intrinsic security of LLM agents, model watermarking and intellectual property protection, backdoor defense, and trustworthy AI systems.

Alongside research, I co-founded Hangzhou Zhulong Zhiyuan Technology Co., Ltd. in 2024 to bring intelligent agents into real-world use.

Research Projects

NSFC

National Natural Science Foundation of China · Young Student Research Program

Intrinsic Security Defense Technologies for LLM Agents

Principal Investigator

Focusing on intrinsic security risks in LLM agents, this project develops a three-layer active defense framework spanning the full perception–reasoning–action pipeline.

SRTP

SRTP National Innovation Project

Universal and Harmless Model Watermarking

Principal Investigator · Completed with Excellence

This project developed domain-embedding-based model watermarking that reprograms a target model into an owner-controlled latent space. It preserves harmlessness while remaining robust against a range of model-removal attacks, and received the Best Creative Project award at the National College Student Innovation Annual Conference—one of only 12 projects nationwide.

Agents & evaluation

KDD · Dataset & Benchmark Track · First Author

DMind Benchmark: Toward a Holistic Assessment of LLM Capabilities across the Web3 Domain

Enhao Huang, Pengyu Sun, Shuxun Wang, Zixin Lin, Alex Chen, Kaichun Hu, Joey Ouyang, Frank Li, Zhiyu Zhang, Haobo Wang, Yiming Li, Zhan Qin, James Yi, Gang Zhao, Ziang Ling, Lowes Yang

A holistic benchmark for evaluating LLM capabilities across nine Web3 subdomains, combining objective knowledge assessment with open-ended reasoning tasks. It introduces a contamination-aware evaluation pipeline and analyzes the accuracy, reasoning reliability, and cost efficiency of 31 leading models.

WWW · Demo Track · Co-first Author

DualMind: Towards Understanding Cognitive-Affective Cascades in Public Opinion Dissemination via Multi-Agent Simulation

Enhao Huang, Tongtong Pan, Shuhuai Zhang, Qishu Jin, Liheng Zheng, Kaichun Hu, Yiming Li, Zhan Qin, Kui Ren

An LLM-driven multi-agent simulation framework that jointly models transient affective responses and persistent cognitive beliefs in public-opinion propagation. Evaluations on 15 real-world crises show that it reconstructs opinion trajectories more faithfully than existing simulation baselines.

AI architectures

ICASSP · First Author

Holographic Transformers for Complex-Valued Signal Processing: Integrating Phase Interference into Self-Attention

Enhao Huang, Zhiyu Zhang, Tianxiang Xu, Chunshu Xia, Kaichun Hu, Yuchen Yang, Tongtong Pan, Dong Dong, Zhan Qin

A physics-inspired Transformer for complex-valued signals that explicitly incorporates relative phase and wave interference into self-attention. The architecture preserves amplitude–phase consistency and demonstrates strong performance on PolSAR classification and wireless-channel prediction.
