I am a 2nd-year PhD student at Northwestern University advised by Prof. Xinyu Xing. My research interest spans broadly in system and software security, including program analysis, fuzz testing and vulnerability exploitation.

I have participated in lots of CTF competitions. I am currently a member of team Nu1L and Straw Hat. We took part in many great world-wide CTF competitions and won good places. I mainly work on reverse engineering challenges.

I obtained my Master’s degree at Fudan University, advised by Prof. Yuan Zhang. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree at Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, and attended X1cT34m advised by Prof. Letian Sha. I am fortunate to attend Students’ Association for Science and Technology in NJUPT, which has introduced me to the field of cybersecurity.
