Intro

Hello! I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, fortunately advised by Prof. Frank Li. I am broadly interested in real-world computer security topics. More specifically, I focus on studying web security/privacy problems and building secure systems that can be used in practice.

Before Gatech, I received my bachelor’s from Zhejiang University of Technology, and received M.S. from Fudan University, advised by Prof. Yang Chen.
