About Me

I am a 5th year PhD student at the Department of Computer Science, Purdue Univeristy. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Pedro Fonseca and work with other pepole in the Reliable and Secure Systems Lab. Before joining Purdue, I obtained my B.S. degree in Computer Science from University of Science and Technology of China in 2019.

I am broadly interested in operating system research. My recent research focuses on improving the reliability and security of real-world kernels, with particular interests in kernel testing.
