Education

I received my Doctor of Philosophy from Binghamton University in 2020. My adviser is Dr. Aravind Prakash.
My research interest is software security through analysis, including by not limited to:

• Compiler-based code analysis
• Binary analysis
• Security-centric software debloating
• Dynamic analysis and instrumentation
• Reverse engineering
• Security-centric toolchain optimization including compiler, linker, C library, and loader
