Biography

My research involves embedded systems, operating systems, and trusted computing. I have got my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) at the University of Florida in 2019 advised by Dr. Kevin Butler. I was a founding member and the lead graduate student of the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS). I have also spent a year working on Machine Learning research in the Department of Computer & Information Science (CIS) at the University of Oregon and around four years as a software engineer in Nokia R&D in China (former Lucent Technologies). I have got my BS degree from the Qingdao University of Technology and ME degree from the Ocean University of China.
