Biography

I am a doctoral student in School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University, majoring in computer security. I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. XiaoFeng Wang and Dr. Shuo Chen (co-advisor) from Microsoft Research.

Research Interests

My current research mainly focuses on systems security, including ecommerce security, side-channel issues, privacy-preserving techniques, and reverse engineering of binary executables.
