I will join Michigan Technological University as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in August 2026. I received my Ph.D. in Information Technology (2026) from George Mason University, where I was advised by Dr. Kun Sun. Before that, I earned my M.Eng. in Cyberspace Security (2021) and B.Eng. in Information Security (2018) from Wuhan University, advised by Dr. Fei Yan. My research lies in Software and Systems Security, with a focus on Automated Program Repair (APR), Sanitization Optimization, and Container Security.
In the era of LLMs, I focus on leveraging LLMs and agentic AI to advance the end-to-end pipeline of software and systems security, including vulnerability detection, reasoning, patch generation, and verification.
I am currently looking for highly motivated Ph.D. students to join my research group. Positions are fully funded through research assistantships (RAs), covering tuition and providing a competitive stipend. If you are interested, please feel free to email me your CV and transcript.
