I am a PhD candidate in the School of Cyber Science and Technology at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), supervised by Prof.Jingqiang Lin. Besides, I am also honored to collaborate with Prof. Bingyu Li and Dr. Yiming Zhang. Prior to that, I got my BS degree in Computer Science and Technology from Hefei University of Technology (HFUT) in 2020.

My research interests include email security, public key infrastructure, and transparency. I focus on empirical, data-driven studies to evaluate the real-world impact of security threats, with the goal of providing valuable insights to the community and contributing to strengthening Internet security.

Looking for Research Opportunities: I am happy to engage in discussions on security-related topics with researchers worldwide. Additionally, I am actively seeking internship opportunities to collaborate with different research groups. Please feel free to reach out to me at sswen@mail.ustc.edu.cn!
