Greetings. I am an atypical full-stack programmer and serial entrepreneur of the generation 1997, who is a hybrid of Nantong, Jiangsu, China and Tieling, Liaoning, China. Now, I am an assistant researcher at Tsinghua University and advised by Prof. Jinliang Li and Assoc. Prof. Zigan Wang. Prior to that, I graduated from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences with master in cyberspace security and advised by Prof. Rui Hou. At the same time, I also work as a graduate research assistant at Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences. I graduated from Yangzhou University with Bachelor in Software Engineering (NIIT) and advised by Prof. Lejun Zhang and Prof. Caikou Chen. My interests including FinTech, Adversarial Machine Learning, MLSys Security, and Large Language Model.

This is the homepage where post the academic and engineering experiences, personal life and anything unformally. Welcome friends from all over the world to communicate with each other via the comment below. If you want to connect with me, feel free to send email.

P.S. I have many other excited shares but unfortunately the space here is too small to write down. Welcome you read more via Blogs, Gallery, TVs, Reads, Music and Portfolio.
