I am currently a post-doctoral researcher supervised by Prof. Qingchuan Zhao in the Department of Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong. I obtained my PhD in City University of Hong Kong in 2024, advised by Prof. Weitao Xu and Prof. Qingchuan Zhao. My primary research interests are on vulnerability discoveries with advancing techniques (program analysis, AI, and LLMs) and smart sensing. I obtained my B.E. degree in School of Computer Science and Engineering from South China University of Technology (SCUT) in 2020.
