Biography

Hi! I am Jianhao Xu (徐坚皓), a Research Associate in the school of Cyber Science and Engineering at Southeast University. My research lies at the intersection of security, software engineering and compilers. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Nanjing University in 2023, and was fortunately advised by Professor Bing Mao. From April 2022 to April 2023, I had the privilege of visiting HexHive and being supervised by Professor Mathias Payer.

I'm looking for master students at Southeast University. If you are interested in systems and security, please feel free to contact me!
