About Me
I am currently a software engineer at Google. I earned my Ph.D. degree from The University of Texas at Dallas in April 2024. My faculty supervisor is Dr. Shiyi Wei. This page mainly serves as a space to track my research contributions.
Research Interests
My research is primarily dedicated to security, with a focus on the area of fuzz testing. I aim to enhance software security by (1) improving the evaluation process in fuzz testing tools in a systematic manner, and (2) developing new techniques that can expand the applications of fuzz testing tools.
