I am a Full Professor in the School of Cyber Science and Engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). Before joining HUST in January 2022, I was an Associate Professor (BUPT "1551 Young Talent Plan") in the School of Computer Science at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT). I received my PhD degree in Computer Science from Peking University in 2016. I was a Visiting PhD Student at Carnegie Mellon University (2014-2015) and a Visiting Professor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (2019).

I am leading the SECURITY PRIDE Research Group (Security, Privacy, and Dependability in Emerging Software Systems). My research covers a wide range of topics in Software Analysis, Privacy and Security, eCrime, Internet/System Measurement, and AI Security.

My recent research projects are mainly focused on:
1) Security, privacy and underground market of the mobile app ecosystem
2) Web3/Blockchain Security
3) AI + Program Analysis, LLM Security

I have published over 100 peer-reviewed papers in top-tier venues. My research usually targets top-tier Software Engineering Venues (ICSE/FSE/ASE/ISSTA), Security Venues (CCS/NDSS/Oakland/USENIXSec), Web and Measurement Venues (WWW/IMC/SIGMETRICS). I have been awarded 7 best/distinguished paper awards, including WWW 2020 Best Student Paper Award (the first award from China), ACM OOPSLA 2020 Distinguished Paper Award, and ISSTA 2023 Distinguished Paper Award.

My group has released a number of tools and datasets, including BREWasm, LibRadar (LibRadar++), WuKong, CHAMP, and RMVDroid, etc. They have been widely used by the research community and the industry. My research has been covered by over 20 media outlets all around the world, including CoinDesk, Yahoo Finance, Coin Geek, Publish0x, nasdaq.com, Cryptonews CoinGenius, etc.
