I am a PhD student at Tsinghua University starting in September 2022, supervised by Prof. Yu Jiang, working with folks at WingTecher Lab. Before that, I received my bachelor and master degree from Beijing Institute of Technology and Tsinghua University, respectively. My research interests span system security and software engineering, especially fuzzing and program analysis. I have also dabbled in malware analysis, system protection, and AI ecosystem security.

I will graduate in June 2025. Feel free to reach out regarding any job opportunities.
