I am currently an associate professor in the College of Cyber Security at the Jinan University. I received the B.S. degree in College of Computer Science and Technology from Jilin University in 2011, and the Ph.D. degree in the Department of Computer Science at the City University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Duncan S. Wong in 2015. I worked as a postdoc supervised by Prof. Jian Weng in Jinan University from 2016 to 2019, during which I visited the BBCR Lab in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Waterloo under the supervision of Prof. Xuemin (Sherman) Shen since May 2018. From September 2015 to July 2016, I worked as a research associate in the department of Computer Science at the City University of Hong Kong, cooperating with Prof. Gerhard Hancke. From November to December 2014, I worked at the Charlmers University of Technology, Sweden, as a visiting student. From December 2013 to June 2014, I was a research assistant in Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), A*STAR, Singapore.
