Biography
- Aug., 2012-Jul., 2016 B.S. Degree, Dept. of Computer Science & Technology, Tsinghua University
- Sep., 2016-Present Ph.D. student, Dept. of Computer Science & Technology, Tsinghua University. From my undergraduate years to Feb., 2019, I spent about 3.5 years working under the supervision of Dr. Jun Bi, a diligent and kind professor. Unfortunately, he suddenly passed away in Feb., 2019. Then I switched to the supervision of Dr. Jianping Wu and Dr. Mingwei Xu, to continue my Ph.D. study. During the past few years, I am fortunate to work with partners from my lab (Dr. Zhaogeng Li, Dr. Kai Gao, Jiasong Bai, Guanyu Li, Yi Qiao, Shicheng Wang, Chang Liu, Xiao Kong and etc.) and collaborators from Rice University (Dr. Ang Chen), Texas A&M University (Dr. Guofei Gu, Dr. Lei Xu) and Clemson University (Dr. Hongxin Hu).
- Feb., 2019-Jul., 2019 visiting scholar, Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering, Texas A&M University, under the supervision of Dr. Guofei Gu.
- Research interest: (1) Software-Defined Programmable Network Security. I am familiar with Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Programmable data plane (P4), and extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF). Besides, I have deeply involved in a set of scenarios, such as data center network, cloud gateway, Denial-of-Service attacks, Network Intrusion Detection/Prevention System, Internet of Things, containers and etc. Most of my projects are trying to make software-defined networked systems more security and efficient. (2) Data-driven Network Anomaly Detection and Mitigation. I am also interested in leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms to do data-driven anomaly detection (e.g., network traffic analysis), which I believe is a promising direction.
