About me
I am a Sr. Software Engineer at Certik evolution team, working on symbolic execution and fuzzing on smart contracts.
I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science of the University of California, Irvine (UCI) in August 2022, advised by Prof. Ardalan Amiri Sani. I came from China and has a B.Sc. degree from the Department of Computer Science of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). Before coming to UCI, I worked with Prof. Chen Tian on datacenter networks. My hometown is Shangqiu, Henan Province, China.
My Ph.D. research focused on the intersection of security, operating systems, and program analysis. I am excited about applying program analysis techniques to secure and improve the implementations of complex softwares people use day to day, with operating system as one example.
Aside from work, I enjoy running, hiking, cooking and spending time with my little one.
