I received my B.S. degree in Information Security from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), and my M.S. degree in Computer Science and Technology from Tsinghua University. In 2021, I also worked as a research assistant at George Mason University (GMU) under the supervision of Prof. Kun Sun. Currently, I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the Institute of Information Engineering (IIE), Chinese Academy of Sciences.

My current research interests include:

Software Security
Web3 Security
Intrusion Detection Systems

I welcome collaboration and am always open to discussing related academic topics. Feel free to contact me via email—I’m eager to connect with researchers from around the world.
