Zhiyang is a PhD student at the University of Toronto, supervised by Prof. Fan Long. He is also a Research Engineer at Zircuit, a Layer 2 blockchain project focused on zkRollups with sequencer-level security. Prior to this, he worked at Quantstamp, a leading smart contract auditing company. Before that, he was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Xinyu Wang at the University of Michigan, where he worked on several program synthesis projects.
His current research focuses on detecting poisoning in LLMs, specifically, how malicious code can be generated in response to completely benign and legitimate user queries, as well as on optimizing zkVM performance, smart contract security through static and dynamic analysis, and blockchain scalability.
Broadly, his research interests lie in Programming Languages, Software Engineering, Security, and Distributed Systems.
