I am a Full Professor in the College of Computer at National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), China. I received Ph.D. and Bachelor degrees in computer science from NUDT in June 2009 and July 2002, respectively.

Current Research Interests:

  • Program analysis (especially symbolic execution)
  • Formal methods
  • Constraint solving
  • The applications of the techniques in the above areas

I am seeking Ph.D. and M.Sc. students to work with me. If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to send me an email.
