As of September 2019, I am a tenure-track Associate Professor at Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). My primary research interests are in the areas of systems security, with a focus on trustworthy execution, hardware-assisted security, debugging transparency, transportation security, and plausible deniability encryption.
Before joining SUSTech, I spent four wonderful years as an Assistant Professor at Department of Computer Science at Wayne State University (WSU). I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from George Mason University in April 2015.
    My research group: [COMPASS@SUSTech].
I am looking for graduate students, postdocs, undergraduate students to work with me on exciting projects in systems security. If you are interested, please send me your CV. Multiple fully funded positions are available [Hire Link, 招聘启示] [SUSTech Ph.D. Scholarship For International Students].
Multiple Postdoc Openings.
