Xue Yinxing, born in Suzhou of Jiangsu Province in October 1982, is a Research Prof.  and doctoral supervisor of School of Computer Science, the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).  He obtained his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Wuhan University in 2005 and 2007 respectively, and his Ph.D. degree from National University of Singapore (NUS) in February 2013. He worked as a Research Scientist at Temasek Lab at NUS from 2013 to November 2014 on the Singapore Defense Project, and at Temasek Lab at NTU from 2015 to July 2017 on the same project. Then he worked as a Level-2 Data Scientist in Microsoft Asia-Pacific Software Technology Center (STCA) on the anti-spam core project for the Exchange mail system. He joined USTC in April 2018 and has published nearly 30 papers as a major author in internationally prestigious journals and conferences in recent years, including 15 papers as the first or corresponding author, including IEEE TSE (2019), ACM CCS (2018), ACM ICSE (2018), IEEE TIFS (2019, 2017), ACM FSE (2019, 2016), and ACM ISSTA (2016, 2015). He has served as an external reviewer for 30 conferences or seminars; as a member of technical committee for PRDC 2014, ICECCS 2015, ICSEM 2017-Tool, and ISSTA 2019-Tool; as an invited reviewer for the following journals: IEEE Trans on Reliability, IET Information Security, Computer & Security, IEEE Access, and Journal of Computer Science.
