🦥 About Me

Hi, I am Bonan Ruan (阮博男). Currently, I am a Ph.D. student (advised by Prof. Zhenkai Liang) in CURIOSITY research group at NUS. I received my Master of Computing degree from NUS, and B.E. degree in Information Security (advised by Prof. Zhijun Ding) at the Tongji University. During the undergraduate time, I had two extra special semesters on German.

My research interest lies in the interactions of system security, program analysis, and AI for security. Currently I focus on vulnerability-related topics.
