Bio

I am currently an associate professor (with tenure) in the School of CSE at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). I worked as a research fellow in the School of Computing (SoC), National University of Singapore (NUS) from 2021 to 2023. I received my PhD degree from SoC NUS, supervised by Prof. Jin Song Dong. I have been honoured to collaborate with Assoc. Prof. Guangdong Bai. Prior to that, I obtained my bachelor's degree with the first class honours from Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

I am broadly interested in AI+Security, Secure and Private Software Engineering. In particular, my research focuses on the Security Analysis and Testing of Large Language Models, Mobile and Web Security and Privacy. I have published in various top-tier conferences and journals such as OOPSLA, NDSS, MobiCom, TSE, TOSEM, FSE, ASE, ISSTA and WWW.
