I am currently a master student at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, advised by Prof. Yu Jiang. I am proud to be a member of the Software System Security Assurance Group - WingTecher Lab. Previously, I received my bachelor’s degree from Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
I am interested in the intersection of security, software systems, and data. To understand and mitigate evolving computer security threats, I work to design and develop practical tools to detect and defend against a wide range of vulnerabilities in software and systems, e.g., attack investigation (S&P Oakland’23, ICSE’24), detection (ICCCN’21, IP&M 2022, FSE’25-InSubmission), and defense (EMSOFT’22, ISSTA’25-InSubmission).
In my free time, I’m into table tennis, running, science fictions, and livehouse band performance.
I am applying to Ph.D. programs for 2025 Fall, with a focus on Security / SE. I would appreciate any information you can provide!
