I am an Assistant Professor (晨晖学者) of Software Engineering Institute, East China Normal University, starting from July 2025. Prior to that, I obtained my Ph.D. from Tsinghua University, where I was fortunately advised by Prof. Yu Jiang and worked in the WingTecher Lab. My research interests lie at the intersection of system security, program analysis, and artificial intelligence. My previous work includes fuzzing, malware analysis, system protection, and the security of AI ecosystems.
