Jie Liang (梁杰)

I am an Associate Professor at School of Software, Beihang University. Before joining in Beihang, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Software System Security Assurance Group at Tsinghua University. I got my Ph.D. degree in software engineering under the supervision of Prof. Jiaguang Sun and Prof. Yu Jiang from Tsinghua University in 2022.6. I received BS degree in computer science from the Beijing University of Post and Telecommunication, China, in 2017.6. My research interests include vulnerability detection, fuzzing, and software engineering.
