#NingFei
Super excited for Ningfei Li to receive the highly prestigious NSFC Excellent Young Scientists Fund – as of yesterday, Ningfei is Full Professor at the Xian University and has joined a new AI institute! We are both excited to continue our collaboration on @lead-dbs.org and connectomic DBS!

Great news! Ningfei is a great scientist and a highly valued collaborator. I’m looking forward to working with him in the new capacity.

I wrote a mini essay about Ning Fei's storyline in #DestinyRising and the disconnect between what the story wants us to think, and what it actually shows us, regarding Claudia's treatment of him.

So a while back while playing #destinyrising i decided to ask players which character’s fanart they would like to see more of, and the top two requests were Ning Fei and Attal. People love arc it seems

ICYMI we celebrated #WorldPoetryDay last week with this beautiful reading of Xu Zhimo's (KC 1921) classic poem 'By Chance', recited in the Xu Zhimo Memorial Garden by King's student Ningfei 💜 The translation used here is from 'Xu Zhimo in Cambridge. Life and Poetry.' by Stuart Lyons (KC 1962).

In 2020, Ningfei Li published on a tract that – when stimulated – resulted in optimal improvements of OCD symptoms @naturecomms.bsky.social. Subsequently, this 'OCD response tract' was validated and replicated by several other groups, as nicely summarized by Sheth & Mayberg in 2023.

NDSS 2025 – On The Realism Of LiDAR Spoofing Attacks Against Autonomous Driving Vehicle
Session 14D: Autonomous Vehicles Authors, Creators & Presenters: Ningfei Wang (University of California, Irvine), Shaoyuan Xie (University of California, Irvine), Takami Sato (University of California, Irvine), Yunpeng Luo (University of California, Irvine), Kaidi Xu (Drexel University), Qi Alfred Chen (University of California, Irvine) PAPER Revisiting Physical-World Adversarial Attack On Traffic Sign Recognition: A Commercial Systems Perspective Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) is crucial for safe and correct driving automation. Recent works revealed a general vulnerability of TSR models to physical-world adversarial attacks, which can be low-cost, highly deployable, and capable of causing severe attack effects such as hiding a critical traffic sign or spoofing a fake one. However, so far existing works generally only considered evaluating the attack effects on academic TSR models, leaving the impacts of such attacks on real-world commercial TSR systems largely unclear. In this paper, we conduct the first large-scale measurement of physical-world adversarial attacks against commercial TSR systems. Our testing results reveal that it is possible for existing attack works from academia to have highly reliable (100%) attack success against certain commercial TSR system functionality, but such attack capabilities are not generalizable, leading to much lower-than-expected attack success rates overall. We find that one potential major factor is a spatial memorization design that commonly exists in today's commercial TSR systems. We design new attack success metrics that can mathematically model the impacts of such design on the TSR system-level attack success, and use them to revisit existing attacks. Through these efforts, we uncover 7 novel observations, some of which directly challenge the observations or claims in prior works due to the introduction of the new metrics. ABOUT NDSS The Network and Distributed System Security Symposium (NDSS) fosters information exchange among researchers and practitioners of network and distributed system security. The target audience includes those interested in practical aspects of network and distributed system security, with a focus on actual system design and implementation. A major goal is to encourage and enable the Internet community to apply, deploy, and advance the state of available security technologies.

This paper is the work of the brilliant Haeun Sun. It’s rare for an MSc thesis to be publishable, but Haeun’s perseverance made it possible.

I’m also grateful to all the co-authors — especially Ningfei Li and Davide Giampiccolo @dgiampiccolo.bsky.social, who co-supervised Haeun’s project.

Originally, the 'OCD response tract' has been defined in a paper by Ningfei Li et al. (www.nature.com/articles/s41...).

Just made a small adjustment to make the model fit the data and make @NingfeiL main developer of @leaddbs. Not saying I'm completely useless yet (getting there) but Ningfei is a rock star & does most of the development work these days.

Ningfei could demonstrate that you could calculate the tract bundle exclusively on data from one target (e.g. ALIC) and use it to cross-predict outcomes in the other target (e.g. STN), and vice versa – could be as a first cross-target connectomic DBS cross-valudation.
