About Me

I am a M.S. student in the School of Cyber Security at the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS). I am working under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Lei Cui and Prof. Hongsong Zhu. In addition, I am also honored to work with Prof. Yuede Ji, who has provided me with invaluable guidance.

Standing at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity, I believe these two aspects of our times have come to a critical point. The threats and opportunities posed by AI are unprecedented, and we need to act swiftly and responsibly to ensure the safety and prosperity of humanity. My research interests center on the field of AI for security and security for AI. Within this domain, my fervent enthusiasm lies within the realms of software security, binary code analysis, cyber threat detection, and trustworthy AI.
