I’m a third-year master student in the School of Cyber Science and Engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) advised by Prof. Cai Fu. I earned my bachelor’s degree from the same university in 2023. Currently, I am working as a junior research assistant at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. My research has focused on Software Testing and Security, particularly in WebAssembly and Kernel. Additionally, I am highly interested in the integration of existing AI technologies, including large language models and reinforcement learning, into software engineering and security research.
