I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student at Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, supervised by Prof. Shuai Wang. Before joining HKUST, I received my B.S. degree from Nanjing University, Nanjing, China in 2021.

My research currently focuses on the application of Causality Analysis, and my research interests include Software Engineering and Security.
