Research Interests:
My main research focus is on Software and Systems Security. It is driven by practical problems, and emphasizes building real systems. It draws on principles and techniques from programming languages and compilers, algorithms and operating systems to address problems such as:
* Binary analysis and instrumentation for security applications
* Principled and proactive defenses against malware and untrusted code
* Source-code analysis/transformation to mitigate software vulnerabilities (memory errors, SQL injection, XSS, …)
* Attack isolation and recovery; Self-healing systems
* High-performance intrusion detection (network and host-based)
