I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas. I teach and do research on software engineering and security.
Current Focused Research Areas:
SE/Security for Machine Learning (PerInv, MRV, Telemade, NMTtest, ILFO, DENAS, EREBA, NICGSlowDown, NMTSloth, DeepPerform, TestAug)
Mobile/Embedded System Security (WHYPER, Pluto, AppContext[1][2][3], Telemade, MRV, CLAP[1], EnMobile, MalScan, iRuler, TextExerciser, IntDroid, HomDroid, IFDroid )
Intelligent Software Testing/Security (ORBIT, WCTester[1][2], NMTtest[1], SemRegex[1], REINAM, TextExerciser, SCDetector, DBAntiPattern, UI-Flaky, WebEvo, Vet, GLIB, GameCompatStudy, VulCNN)
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2018, advised by Prof. Carl A. Gunter and Prof. Tao Xie, an M.S. in Computer Science from North Carolina State University in 2013, advised by Prof. Tao Xie, and a B.E. in Software Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2011, advised by Prof. Jianjun Zhao. I was a visiting researcher in University of California, Berkeley, invited by Prof. Dawn Song.
Note: I am looking for students, especially those interested in learning and using program analysis techniques (in analyzing mobile/IoT/blockchain/AI applications). Please drop me an email with your CV/Resume and samples of your work if you know how to hack.
