About Me
I was born and raised in Nanjing, China. I’m currently pursuing my Ph.D. at Software Institue, Nanjing University, working with Associate Prof. Chunrong Fang. Previously, I obtained my M.Eng degree here. Before joining Nanjing University, I received my B.Eng degree from Nantong University, fortunately supervised by Associate Prof. Xiang Chen.
My research interest is shifting from LLM-based AI Infra Testing/Analysis🛠️🛡️ to Hardware–Software Co-design/optimization and Embodied Intelligence🔮🤖. Feel free to reach out to me to discuss these exciting things!
I have disclosed 100+ new bugs for popular fundamental components of AI Infras (e.g., vLLM, SGLang, PyTorch, TensorFlow, TVM, Triton), including 14 CVEs. I am also passionate about fixing bugs that I have found in these components (e.g, vLLM, PyTorch, Triton) by contributing several bug-fixing PRs.

We will aim to make steady progress with small milestones along the way, but the ultimate goal of our research is to create something impactful and real, which is expected to be either novel or practical.
