I am a first-year PhD student at University of California, Santa Barbara, in the Department of Computer Science. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Wenbo Guo. I received my bachelor’s degree in Statistics from Renmin University of China, where I was advised by Prof. Hongteng Xu. My research interests focus on AI security and AI for security. Currently, I am working secure code generation.
