I am currently a full professor at School of Cyber Science and Engineering (SCSE) in Wuhan University (WHU). Prior to joining WHU, I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow (2019-2021) under the supervision of Prof. LIU Yang in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. I obtained my Ph.D. (2015-2018) in Information Security at Wuhan University advised by Prof. Lina Wang.
My research interests are at the intersection of security, privacy, and Al. I am dedicated to improving the trustworthiness and safety of generative AI systems, as well as investigating the application of AI in enhancing security measures, like vulnerability discovery, static and dynmaic analysis. Our group's research is focused on solving real-world problems and creating significant impact. For a more comprehensive understanding of my research endeavors and academic contributions, please refer to the detailed list of my research interests and publications. For more details, check my research interests and publications .
I am actively seeking for highly self-motivated
Undergraduate/Master/PhD students who have a strong background and interests in my research topics (but
not limited). Please drop me an email with your CV if you are interested to work with me. Together, we
have the chance to embark on a gratifying journey, confronting real-world problems and achieving
substantial, tangible impacts.
