About Me

I am now an Associate Professor in Beihang University from 2023.2, and leading the BASS LAB focusing on the research of systems software security.
Before joining Beihang University, I worked as an assistant researcher and postdoc researcher (supervisor: Prof. Shi-Min Hu) in Tsinghua University from 2021.2 to 2023.2 and from 2019.9 to 2021.2, respectively.
I received a PhD degree (supervisor: Prof. Shi-Min Hu) from Tsinghua University in 2018.7, and a bachelor degree from Xidian University in 2013.7.
I am looking for self-motivated postgraduate students, intern undergraduates and postdoc researcher.
If you are interested in systems software reliability and security, please feel free to contact me!
