About
I am Zishu Lin, a Master of Computer Science candidate at Dalhousie University focusing on Byzantine-robust federated transfer learning for zero-day attack detection in 5G core networks. My research spans ML security, Byzantine fault tolerance, and 5G cybersecurity, supervised by Dr. Srinivas Sampalli and Dr. Yujie Tang. In parallel, I enjoy applying ML and security research to real-world systems and mentoring others in computational topics.
Beyond academia, I work as a Graduate Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant, building scalable defense mechanisms, autoencoder-based anomaly detection, and conducting security-focused simulations on a 5G testbed. I bring industry experience in software testing from internships at AoJun Technology and Anmwave, with a track record of identifying defects, designing test plans, and improving product reliability.

Work experience· 4 roles
Developed Byzantine-resilient federated transfer learning for zero-day attack detection in 5G networks. Implemented autoencoder-based anomaly detection with IQR statistical outlier analysis and adaptive thresholds. Deployed free5GC core network with UERANSIM achieving 80,000+ requests/second throughput for attack simulation.
Designed and executed comprehensive test plans for enterprise software systems, including functional, integration, and regression testing. Identified and documented 150+ software defects through systematic testing methodologies, collaborating with development teams on bug resolution. Performed API testing using Postman and wrote test cases for RESTful services, ensuring system reliability.
Evaluated assignments, provided technical feedback, and conducted tutorial sessions for CSCI 3171 (Computational Complexity) and CSCI 2110 (Data Structures & Algorithms).
