Academic Achievements
- IEEE Fellow, ACM Distinguished Member, recipient of NSF CAREER Award and AFOSR YIP Award. Also received the Harrison Faculty Award for Excellence in Engineering Education from the College of Engineering, and the Outstanding Faculty Teaching Award from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at OSU. Involved in multiple research projects such as Miniapp Malware, IDBleed Attack, SmartGlass Attack, TensorCrypt: Repurposing AI for Crypto, etc.
Research Experience
- Has been working on developing novel or using existing program analysis and reverse engineering techniques for vulnerability discovery with native binary code over the past decade, and recently also on byte code (Java), script code (JavaScript), or even source code (C/C++/Rust), covering the entire software stack from firmware to applications, from web, mobile, IoT (particularly Bluetooth), to blockchain. In addition to finding vulnerabilities, also works on hardening the software against various attacks, particularly on improving or using binary code rewriting, virtual machine introspection, and trusted execution environment (TEE) towards this goal.
Education
- No specific educational background information provided.
Background
- Distinguished Professor of Engineering in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the director of the Institute for Cybersecurity and Digital Trust at The Ohio State University. Broadly interested in most cybersecurity problems, with a key focus on advancing or using program analysis to solve security issues.
Miscellany
- Founding faculty advisor of Women in Cyber Security (WiCys) chapter at OSU, and one of the faculty advisors of OSU Cybersecurity Club.
