To Prospective Students

I always look to recruit and support highly motivated graduate students majoring in electrical engineering or computer sciences. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in hardware security and SoC/CPU/GPU security architecture. Outstanding graduates will have the chance to be recommended to further their studies overseas at well-known universities or work in top-tier technology companies (e.g., Huawei, Ant Group, NVIDIA, Horizon Robotics, Geely, etc.).
