About me

I am now a Ph.D. candidate in School of Software at Tsinghua University, co-supervised by Prof. Hai Wan and Prof. Xibin Zhao, with Network Security Situation Awareness group.

Prior to this, I received my bachelor's degree from School of Computer Engineering and Science, Shanghai University, and received my master's degree from School of Software at Tsinghua University, supervised by Prof. Min Zhou. I have served as a Research Intern in (1) Big Data and Networking (DataNET) Group since April 2019, supervised by Prof. Yang Chen, as well as (2) Lab of Services Computing and Data Mining (SCDM Lab) since September 2019, supervised by Prof. Guobing Zou.

Currently, my research interests include: software security, software engineering, and data-driven analysis for related topics.
