Zirui Chen

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Software Engineering at Zhejiang University. I am very fortunate to work under the supervision of Prof. Xiaohu Yang, Prof. Xing Hu, and Prof. Xin Xia. My research mainly focuses on vulnerability exploits. Previously, I obtained my B.S. in Software Engineering from Zhejiang University.
