I received the Ph.D. in Computer Science and Technology at Northwestern Polytechnical University in 2018. I am supervised by Professor Dejun Mu and Professor Wei Hu.
I received the Master Degree in Control Theory and Control Engineering in 2013 and the Bachelor Degree in Information Security in 2010 both from Northwestern Polytechnical University.
From 2013 to 2015, I was a visiting graduate student in Kastner Group of Computer Science and Engineering Department at University of California, San Diego. My advisor are Professor Ryan Kastner and Wei Hu. I appreciate for their constructive advice and instructions about the research.
Research Interest
My research interest includes Timing and Power Side Channel Analysis(SCA), Hardware Security Based on Information Flow Analysis and Formal Verification. The research is targeted to understand, reason about, verify and validate hardware security design in more efficient and effective way.
