Previously, I have worked on a microcontroller security, chiefly relating to aspects of control-flow integrity. In a more general sense, I am fascinated about the different aspects of how the security mechanisms of systems are designed. If it ain’t broke, break it.

Currently, I am a Cybersecurity PhD student at Northeastern University, Boston, in the Cyberspace Security and Forensics (Cacti) Lab. I am fortunate to be advised by Ziming Zhao.
