Yu Qu's Homepage (屈宇)

I'm an Assistant Project Scientist at the Center for Research and Education in Cyber Security and Privacy (CRESP) at University of California, Riverside led by Prof. Heng Yin. I obtained my Ph.D. from the School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Xi’an Jiaotong University under the supervision of Prof. Xiaohong Guan in 2015. My research interests include Software Security, Software Engineering, and applying Machine Learning and Deep Learning theories to analyzing software systems.
