I got my M.S. degree in Xidian University in June 2007. Then, I joined Department of Computer Science, North Carolina State University as a Ph.D. student. Currently, I am with Cyber Defense Laboratory and my advisor is Dr. Peng Ning. My general research fields include security issues in computer and wireless networks.

2007 -- present, Ph.D. student in computer science, NC State University, Raleigh NC.

2004 -- 2007, M.S. in information and communication systems, Xidian University, Xi'an China.

2000 -- 2004, B.S. in computer science, Xidian University, Xi'an China.
