I am a 1st-year Ph.D. student at Columbia University, advised by Tanvir Ahmed Khan. My research interests lie in improving system security and reliability by combining insights from operating systems, computer architecture, and machine learning. I also work closely with Suman Jana at Columbia and Joe Devietti at UPenn.
I received my B.Eng. in Computer Science at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Before joining Columbia, I was fortunate to work with Prateek Saxena and Trevor E. Carlson at National University of Singapore (NUS) and Xianghang Mi at USTC.
