Danning's Homepage

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, working with Prof. Lin Tan and Prof. Xiangyu Zhang. Before joining Purdue, I received my Bachelor's degree from Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). My research interests mainly focus on Software engineering, Software Analysis, Software Security, etc.
