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.

我在招硕士生。研究方向为 AI System Reliability 和 LLM for Testing/Verification。欢迎加入我的研究小组，一起做有趣且有影响的研究。感兴趣的同学可邮件联系我。
