Xiang Li (李想)

I am now a Ph.D candidate in Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS) at Tsinghua University. I am very fortunate to have Prof. Mingyu Gao as my advisor. Before joining Tsinghua, I obtained a bachelor’s degree from School of Information Science and Engineering, Southeast University in 2020. My research interests mainly lie in confidential computing and system security, especially, the trusted execution environment (TEE), including its applications, constructions, side channels, formal models, and combination with cryptography. Here is my CV/简历.
