Ph.D. student at BUPT. Research interests: AI for Network Security, Software/Model Supply Chain Security.

About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), Beijing, China, advised by Prof. Yuchao Zhang and Prof. Wendong Wang. I am a member of the DANCE Group, where I serve as the Principal Investigator (PI) of the security research direction, leading the DANCE SEC team. My research focuses on Network Security and Software/Large Language Model (LLM) Supply Chain Security.

Outside of research, you can find me on the basketball court (always down for a pickup game), trying to nail a new song on guitar, or losing table tennis rallies to people who claim they “don’t play that much.” I’m an INTJ — which means I’ll analyze your network traffic for vulnerabilities but won’t judge your code (much).

Please feel free to reach out; I promise I’m friendlier than my threat models suggest.
