I am a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at George Mason University (GMU) . Before joining GMU, I spent one year as a postdoc researcher at Georgia Tech, working with Prof. Taesoo Kim . I graduated from The Ohio State University (OSU) with a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering in 2021, advised by Prof. Yinqian Zhang . Before coming to OSU, I graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science in 2015.
I am looking for motivated students to work on cutting-edge security problems with me. Current (main) interests: VR Security, Smart Contract Threat Intelligence, and Side Channels. I am also working on projects related to confidential computing (TEEs) and mobile security.
