I am currently an Associate Professor at the College of Cyberspace Security, Hangzhou Dianzi University (HDU). I received my Ph.D. from the Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of Prof. Limin Sun. During my doctoral studies, I also served as a visiting scholar at Nanyang Technological University, working with Assoc. Prof. Yi Li.

My research primarily focuses on software supply chain security, IoT security, program analysis, and the integration of AI in cybersecurity. See my publication list for details. I am actively looking for self-motivated students/collaborators to work with. Please contact me via email if you are interested in my research.
