Biography

Hello! This is Ling Jiang (蒋灵). I am a master student in Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). I am a member of SUSTech ARiSE lab, advised by Prof. Yuqun Zhang. My research interest primarily lies in binary fuzzing and software composition analysis, and my research goal is to improve the reliability of software systems via program analysis and AI security.

I am admitted into Tencent Rhino Bird Elite Talent Training Program and interning at Tencent Keen Security Lab. More specifically, I am working on intelligent binary software composition analysis (BSCA) and reverse engineering based on function similarity model.

Feel free to drop me an email if we share common research interest
