I am an Associate Professor in the Key Laboratory of Cyberspace Security Defense, Institute of Information Engineering (IIE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

I obtained my Ph.D degree from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) in 2017. I won Distinguished Paper Award of ACSAC 2017.

My research interests lie in the general area of Applied Cryptography, Privacy Protection, Network and System Security, particularly in Cryptographic Misuse Detection, Data Storage Security (e.g., solid state storage and cloud storage), as well as and Information System Security Evaluation. I have published 40+ papers on security venues, such as ACM CCS (17，24), IEEE TDSC (21), ACSAC (16,17,22,24), ESORICS (23) and AsiaCCS (16,19).
