I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the College of Computer Science of Nankai University, under the supervision of Prof. Lingling Fan and Sen Chen. I am currently visiting IMDEA Software Institute (Spain), under the supervision of Prof. Juan Caballero. My current research focuses on mobile security and web security, with particular emphasis on malicious behavior hunting and cross-platform security issues detection. I also work on the software supply chain security.
