NJIT Ying Wu College of Computing '29  |  Newark, NJ

I'm a CS sophomore at NJIT working where AI meets security. A lot of what I build comes from one preference: things that run locally. My current project is a Chrome extension whose AI tools run fully on-device — nothing leaves your browser. In the SPUR Lab, I'm researching how security and privacy actually get taught in K-12 CS classrooms. And most of my projects started at a hackathon around 2am — I'd rather ship something rough than plan something perfect.
