I am a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Columbia University, where I work with Prof. Junfeng Yang and collaborate closely with Prof. Yinzhi Cao from Johns Hopkins University.

My research focuses on software security and program analysis for web and systems, with a recent emphasis on neuro-symbolic approaches. My research frequently intersects software engineering, programming languages, and machine learning.

I received my Ph.D. from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Wei Meng. Prior to that, I received my B.Eng. from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. In my research career, I had the privilege of working with Prof. Chao Zhang from Tsinghua University, Prof. Kangjie Lu from University of Minnesota, and Prof. Kai Chen from Chinese Academy of Science.
