I am a post-doc and received my Ph.D. degree at the College of Computing and Data Science (计算与数据科学学院) in Nanyang Technological University (南洋理工大学) under the supervision of Prof. Liu Yang (刘杨).
My research interest mainly lies in areas of Software Security (软件安全) including Program Analysis, Open Source Security, Software Supply Chain Security, Open Source Governance, etc. (程序分析、开源软件安全、软件供应链安全、开源治理等).
Before that, I received my bachelor's Degree in June 2016, and a Master's Degree in April 2019 from the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China (南京航空航天大学), under the supervision of Prof Yang Zhibin (杨志斌) (NUAA).
