• Led research on NSF-funded projects, collaborating with professors and PhD students, resulting in 3 papers published at top-tier cybersecurity conferences. (S&P25, NDSS23, ICSE22)• Conducted risk assessments on popular web applications (e.g., WordPress, OpenCart) using the MITRE ATT&CK framework and SIEM (Splunk) for log analysis and threat detection, creating reports on over 400 vulnerabilities (e.g., SQLi, XSS, request race, file inclusion).• Developed advanced detection rules and scanning systems by leveraging log and code analysis, performed offensive security assessments and penetration testing by mimicking real-world attack vectors, and reported over 30 new vulnerabilities to vendors to support incident response, with 8 assigned CVE IDs.• Developed advanced database synthesis techniques for web application security testing using trace analysis, symbolic execution, and Z3 SMT solver, improving code and query coverage by 14.0% and 24.2% compared to state-of-the-art methods.• Stay informed on regulatory requirements and industry standards while actively monitoring security threats, vulnerabilities, and attack methods through continuous learning and industry publications (e.g., Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report).

• Independently developed lab materials and managed sessions for 80+ students. Collaborated with the professor on the teaching plan and mentored undergraduates on experimental projects.

• Led or participated in research on university, NSF, and industry-funded projects, collaborating with professors, PhD students, and industry partners, resulting in 3 published papers in top-tier journals or conferences. (IEEE Systems, Smartgrid Comm18, IEEE Internet of Things)• Developed advanced distributed cooperative systems for energy management, solar energy integration, and intelligent greenhouse control. Emulation results demonstrated the system’s ability to prevent single points of failure and enhance user privacy protection.
