I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Washington University in St. Louis, advised by Dr. Raj Jain. My research interests include cybersecurity, quantum computing, quantum networks, network and system security, blockchains, and machine learning. Overall, my work aims to enhance network security and performance, focusing on networking, resource management, and AI for cybersecurity across both quantum and classical computer networks.

Prior to pursuing my Ph.D., I worked as a Software Engineer at companies such as Tencent, Baidu, and DJI between 2011 and 2017. I received my bachelor degree in computer engineering from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China in 2012 and my master degree in computer engineering from Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan in 2019.

I am currently on the academic job market!
