I am pursuing a Ph.D. degree at the School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, advised by Assoc. Prof. Ming Wen. Before that, I received my B.S. degree from the School of Computer Science and Engineering at NJUPT in 2020. I am also a visiting Ph.D. student at Nanyang Technological University under the supervision of Prof. Yang Liu during 2024-2025.
My current research interests revolve around supply chain security, program analysis, and automated testing technologies for software.
