About Me
I am a Ph.D. student in Cyberspace Security at IIE, CAS / UCAS, advised by Qingyun Liu (Professor-level Senior Engineer), with direct research guidance from Yujia Zhu (Associate Researcher). I studied Information Security at Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications (2017–2021), then joined IIE through recommendation. I entered the integrated master’s–Ph.D. track in 2023 and expect to graduate in January 2027.
My research focuses on encrypted traffic analysis, website fingerprinting, and network protocol security, with recent work on the security of LLM agents. I combine protocol analysis, real-world measurement, and machine learning to study information leakage and security risks in networked systems. My first-author work includes NDSS 2027 (accepted), INFOCOM 2026, and WWW 2025 (Oral).
Next chapter. I will be joining Zhongguancun National Laboratory, in Academician Xiaochun Yun’s team.
