About me

I am working as a Postdoc Researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where I am fortunate to work with Prof. Haibo Chen and Prof. Yubin Xia. I received my Ph.D. degree in June 2025 from the State Key Laboratory of Cyberspace Security Defense (SKLCSD), Institute of Information Engineering (IIE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), under the supervision of Prof. Dongdai Lin and Prof. Wenhao Wang.

I have a diverse technical background, starting with Android and web development before transitioning into machine learning research during my master’s studies, where I focused on multi-task learning. My exposure to federated learning and AI security & privacy made me realize the critical security challenges in AI, leading me to shift my focus towards confidential computing. During my Ph.D., I specialized in low-level system security for confidential virtual machines (CVMs), exploring secure system architectures, hardware-assisted security, virtualization security, and trusted execution environments (TEE). My Ph.D. thesis is titled Research on the Privilege Separation Mechanisms in Confidential Virtual Machines.
