I am a tenured Associate Professor at Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). My primary research interests are in the areas of systems security, with a focus on trusted execution environments (e.g., Arm TrustZone/CCA), GPU confidential computing, debugging transparency, system introspection, and hardware-assisted security.
Before joining SUSTech, I spent four wonderful years (2015-2019) as an Assistant Professor (Tenure-track) at Department of Computer Science at Wayne State University (WSU). I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from George Mason University in April 2015.
My research group: [COMPASS@SUSTech].
I am looking for graduate students, postdocs, undergraduate students to work with me on exciting projects in systems security. If you are interested, please send me your CV.
Multiple fully funded positions are available [Hire Link, 招聘启示].
