I am a second-year graduate student at the School of Software Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University, under the supervision of Professor Jiachi Chen and Associate Professor Yanlin Wang. Currently, I'm working as a Research Assistant at Zhejiang University.
My research centers on identifying and mitigating security issues in emerging software systems, particularly Web3 and LLM ecosystems. Recently, I’ve been interested in the bidirectional coupling between LLMs and program analysis: 1) leveraging LLMs to enhance program analysis; 2) employing program analysis techniques to verify the trustworthiness of LLMs.
I am seeking Ph.D. opportunities for Fall 2027. Please contact me if you are interested.
