Research
- Current Interests:
- Software Security (binary code reverse engineering and its applications to vulnerability discovery, malicious code analysis, and binary code reuses in new applications) [NDSS'08, FSE'08, DSN'08, NDSS'09, DSN'10, NDSS'10, DFRWS'12].
- System Security (protecting OS kernel control and data integrity) [NDSS'11, IEEE S&P'12]
- Digital Forensics (data structure guided memory as well as disk data analysis) [NDSS'10, NDSS'11, NDSS'12, DFRWS'12]
- Cloud Computing (enhancing cloud security and the virtual machine management in the cloud) [NDSS'11, IEEE S&P'12]
- Groups: S3 Lab
- I am (always) looking for self-motivated students with solid system (OS, compiler, machine code) as well as security background. Interested students who wish to purse a PhD under my direction please drop me an email.
