Curriculum Vitae
I am a 4th year Ph.D. candidate advised by Dr. Matthew Hicks in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Tech. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2016.
My research interests are primarily related to software security: vulnerability detection, anomaly detection, and program hardening. On a grander scale, I aim to explore cybersecurity’s connection to machine learning, software engineering, human-computer interaction, and digital forensics.
My current work focuses on enhancing the effectiveness of software fuzz testing.
Outside of research, I enjoy cooking, hiking and traveling.
[5/2019] My talk from this year's IEEE S&P is now available! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rg8wtccCNA.
[1/2019] Open-sourcing of our fuzzing code and benchmarks! UnTracer-AFL, FoRTE-FuzzBench, and afl-fid.
[1/2019] Our paper Full-speed Fuzzing: Reducing Fuzzing Overhead through Coverage-guided Tracing was accepted in IEEE S&P 2019!
[1/2018] I have passed the qualification process into PhD candidacy!
