I was a PhD candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department (ECE) at University of British Columbia (UBC). I worked in the computer security lab LERSSE under Profs Konstantin Beznosov and Matei Ripeanu. My research interests include distributed system security architecture, middleware security, software security, peer-to-peer security.

I obtained my PhD degree in 2009. Currently I am the deputy head of IT at CCB International (CCBI), an investment bank in Hong Kong.
