I am a final-year Ph.D. student in the department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Wei Meng and work with other people in SecLab.
I obtained my B.S. degree in Computer Science and Technology from Tongji University in June 2020, working with Prof. Kai Yang.
<aside> 💡 My research provides (in)formal specifications of undesirable behaviors in various programs, with a recent focus on smart contracts. This leads to a broad array of related topics in computer security, software engineering, and programming languages, such as security audit, program analysis, and test-input generation. I aim to ignite a beacon for vulnerability discovery in the sea of program execution paths.
