About Me
I am an Associate Professor of the School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Prior to joining HUST, I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, under supervision of Prof.Yuqing Zhang in 2021. I have also been visiting scholar in Prof.Peng Liu’s cybersecurity lab at Penn State from 2018 to 2020.
My research interests cover a wide range of systems security, including trusted computing and IoT systems security. I am especially interested in developing automatic tools to detect and exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities in IoT firmware and platforms.
Opening:
I am looking for self-motivated master or Ph.D. students to work on cybersecurity problems, especially IoT security. Please send me your CV if interested. Candidates are expected to have a solid background in system programming and operating systems. If you are a HUST (undergraduate/master) student with interests in my areas, my lab is also welcome.
