I am currently a third-year Ph.D. student at the School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Wuhan University, under the guidance of Prof. Ming Tang. I earned my B.S. degree from School of Software, Shandong University in 2021. My research focuses on hardware security, microarchitecture security, and system security. I have published several papers in top-tier conferences and journals, including IEEE HPCA, AsiaCCS, ACM TACO, and IEEE IoT-J. Additionally, I have contributed as a reviewer for several journals.
