I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science at UT Arlington. During my doctoral journey, I had the privilege of collaborating with Dr. Jeff Lei and Dr. Jiang Ming on cutting-edge research in the field of Software Security. Before joining the Software Engineering Research Center Lab at UTA, I worked as an iOS developer in Beijing, China.
