Biography
Hi,
I am a 4th-year Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Network Science and Cyberspace, Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Haixin Duan and Prof. Baojun Liu. Now, I am a visiting scholar at University of California, Irvine, working with Prof. Zhou Li.
My research interests include network protocols and Internet measurement with five academic papers. Four of them are first-author publications. Four papers were published at top-tier venues (CCS, NDSS, IMC, and TDSC). One first-author paper won ACM CCS Distinguished Paper Award, and one first-author paper was nominated for IRTF ANRP. I was also invited to present my research on community events including ICANN APAC DNS Forum and DNS-ORAC.
As a core member of Redbud / Bluelotus / Tea Deliverers, I won several Capture the Flag (CTF) awards, including 3rd place at DEFCON Final, championships at Digital China Innovation Contest 2021 (Cyberspace Security Track) and WCTF 2020 Campus. My main skills are Web and Misc.
I also got multiple awards, including National Scholarship, 1st-class Scholarship of Tsinghua University, and CCF Elite Collegiate Student Award.
