I am currently a 2nd year doctoral student in the Department of Computer Science of NC State University, working with the awesome Dr. Xuxian Jiang. Before that, I worked for Intel Asia-Pacific R&D at Shanghai.

My research focuses on the virtualization based system security. HookMap and HookSafe developed by us are two systems to discover and protect guest kernel hooks.
