About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at HexHive, EPFL, advised by Prof. Mathias Payer. I earned my Ph.D. with honour at Zhejiang University in 2024, advised by Prof. Shouling Ji. Prior to that, I earned my bachelor’s degree with honour at Hunan University in 2018. I am broadly interested in software and system security and IoT security. Recently, my research focuses on developing novel technologies to understand the risks of modern and emerging systems, such as IoT messaging protocols, embedded systems, and trusted execution environments.
