I am a research scientist at Facebook Meta. Before joining Meta, I was a Ph.D. student in the Opera Group and Sysnet Group at UCSD, working with Prof. Yuanyuan Zhou. Before coming to UCSD, I received my master and bachelor degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).

My research interests always lie in systems, focusing on improving system security and reliability.
