About Me
I am an Assistant Professor in the Kahlert School of Computing at University of Utah. Previously, I was a Postdoc at Cornell University. Before that, I was a Research Staff Member at NEC Labs America.
My research interests lie in several aspects of Computer Security. Particularly, I am interested in developing tools using all types of techniques (e.g., program analysis, machine learning, data mining, etc.) to detect, diagnose and address security problems of software systems in different domains, including but not limited to Web3, cyber-physical systems and mobile systems.
