Hi! I am Yinfang Chen (陈胤方), a second-year Computer Science Ph.D. student “watched” by my “cornfield-watchman-professor” Tianyin Xu at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I got my Master of Computing degree from the School of Computing of the National University of Singapore, and received my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology. My research interest is in system reliability and system security.
