I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, fortunately advised by Prof. Wei Meng. Before joining CUHK, I received my B.Eng. in Cyber Science and Engineering from Sichuan University.

My research interests include LLM for Security, Program Analysis, and Web Security. Most recently, I am working on LLM-driven vulnerability detection and automated repair in large-scale codebases. My work has been published at top-tier security conferences including IEEE S&P and ACM CCS.
