About me
I am a third-year Ph.D student at Peking University, where I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Qingni Shen and work closely with Zhi Zhang. I am also a visting Ph.D student at National University of Singapore since October 2024, advised and funded by Prof. Trevor Carlson. Previously, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Information Security from Hunan University.
My research focuses on re-evaluating the rationale behind certain hardware designs. In particular, I am interested in uncovering new side-channel leakages to offer designers insights for building more secure systems.
