I am a PhD Student at the Laboratory of Security Engineering for Future Computing (SEFCOM) at Arizona State University. I am fortunate to work under the supervision of Dr. Yan Shoshitaishvili. I am also lucky to work closely with Dr. Adam Doupé, Dr. Ruoyu (Fish) Wang, and Dr. Tiffany Bao. My research interests lie in mobile system security. I am particularly interested in solving problems to make the Android ecosystem more reliable and more secure. I also research web security.

Before joining SEFCOM, I was doing research with Dr. Joshua Garcia at the Software Aurora Lab at UCI.
