About Me

I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Computer Science in Fudan University, where I earned my Ph.D. degree under the guidance of Prof. Min Yang and Prof. Yuan Zhang. I currently work at the System Software and Security Lab. I am also the co-founder of Fudan-Whitzard CTF team. My research interests mainly include Vulnerability Detection, Analysis and Exploitation on Critical Targets (e.g., autonomous driving system, open-source software, LLM-based app, firmware, etc.).

I’m currently looking for self-driven students who have interests in Software/System Security, especially those who have experiences with Program Analysis, Fuzzing-based Testing, CTF challenges, Real-world Vulnerability Exploitation, etc. Please feel free to contact me through:
