About

I am a Ph.D. student in Information Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Kehuan Zhang.

My research interests include mobile security, LLM-based security analysis, and binary security. I am particularly interested in building practical analysis techniques for Android apps, mini-programs, and security detection workflows.

Before joining CUHK, I received my M.Eng in Cyber Science and Technology from Shandong University, advised by Prof. Wenrui Diao, and my B.Eng in Network Engineering from South China Normal University.
