Hello, I’m Xupu, a Ph.D. student at Nanjing University, advised by Prof. Fengyuan Xu. I specialize in systems and AI security. In April 2026, I obtained my Master’s degree from Nanjing University of Science and Technology under the supervision of Dr. Ming Zhou and Prof. Peng Zhang, where my research focused on live patching technologies for embedded systems. Currently, my research is focused on developing expert-experience-guided AI agents for IoT systems security applications.
