Zhu Zhiling

👨‍🎓 About Me

I am currently a final-year Ph.D. candidate in the School of Computer Science and Technology at Zhejiang University of Technology (ZJUT), supervised by Prof. Tieming Chen. From 2023 to 2024, I was a visiting student at College of Computing and Data Science, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) under the supervision of Prof. Yang Liu and Prof. Chengwei Liu.

My research interests lie in:

I am leading a research group named OSSSC Team, focusing on the security and governance of open source software.

Welcome to reach out to me if you are interested in my research or have any questions!
