About Me

I am a third year Ph.D. student at The University of Texas at Dallas. My faculty supervisor is Dr. Shiyi Wei.


Research Interests

My research interest is in program analysis and its applications in software reliability and security. I focus on enhancing the reliability and usability of static analysis tools by automatically detecting bugs and diagnosing their root causes. Additionally, I work on improving the fuzz testing evaluation process by developing benchmarks that integrate program characteristics, aiming for a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of fuzzing tools.
