Research Interests:
Dr. Angelos Stavrou is Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department and a member of the Center for Secure Information Systems at George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia. He received his M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, M.Phil. and Ph.D. (with distinction) in Computer Science all from Columbia University. He also holds an M.Sc. in theoretical Computer Science from University of Athens, and a B.Sc. in Physics with distinction from University of Patras, Greece. His current research interests include security and reliability for distributed systems, security principles for virtualization, and anonymity with a focus on building and deploying large-scale systems. He is a member of the ACM, the IEEE, and USENIX.
Over the past few years, Dr. Stavrou’s research has focused on two aspects of security: Systems’ Security and Reliability. In the context of the first, he is working with NIST as part of the DARPA “Transformative Applications” project that involves securing Android mobile phone devices against kernel-level attacks. Furthermore, Stavrou is the GMU PI participating along with Columbia, Stanford, and Symantec in the IARPA “StoneSoup” effort. In addition, the PI is funded by DARPA under the CyberGenome project to perform analysis on the phylogenetic origins of malware. Dr. Stavrou is currently supported by a NSF Trustworthy Computing (NSF-CNS- 0915291) grant on “Scalable Malware Analysis using Lightweight Virtualization”. This effort seeks efficient methods to collect and analyze the nature of Internet malfeasance.
