About
I am Haoyu Li (李皓宇), a PhD student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) advised by Prof. Luyi Xing since 2025 Fall.
My research interests span system security and machine learning, with a particular focus on identifying emerging security flaws in complex systems and leveraging LLMs for more accurate and efficient code analysis.
Prior to UIUC, I obtained my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at SJTU, working with Libo Chen and playing CTF with 0ops.
