It is my honor to be mentioned as one of the noteworthy reviewers at RAID’23. Thanks for providing valuable junior PC opportunities!

I'm excited to announce that my paper on robotic vehicles has been accepted to S&P'24!🎉The topic is quite different from what I did before. I'm eager to share more details after the meta-review step. Please stay tuned!

“Overall, the most important part of patching is not automation but safety,” adds Dave Jing Tian, an assistant professor at Purdue Computer Science. “It turns out that it’s non-trivial to prove that a patch does exactly what it should — nothing more or less."

I am honored to receive the Diamond Award from CERIAS at Purdue U.. I would like to thank all my mentors and collaborators, especially Dr. Berkay Celik, for his guidance and support. Special thanks to the CERIAS at Purdue U. leadership, including Dr. Dongyan Xu, Dr. Gene Spafford, and The Ghost of Cyber Past!

Thrilled to announce I'll be joining the CS Department at Indiana University, Bloomington (IU Bloomington, IU Luddy) as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2024. Huge thanks to my mentors and beloved family members for their unwavering support. Super excited about this new chapter!

PurSec Lab is proud to lead the initiative to secure cyber physical systems under the DARPA firefly program. Stay tuned for exciting tools we’re baking in-house for this initiative!

We are excited to present our new tool Patcherex2. We designed it from the ground up to be a highly modular binary patching framework making it easier to add support for new architectures and maintain compared to the original Patcherex. Try it out for your future patching needs.

I am thrilled to announce that I will join the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Penn State EECS ) at Penn State as an Assistant Professor starting this Fall. Huge thanks to my advisors and mentors: Dongyan Xu, Dave Jing Tian, Antonio Bianchi, and Berkay Celik.

I am currently looking for highly motivated students to join my research group. Reach out if you're interested in systems/software security technologies, such as software compartmentalization, fuzzing, or any domain of embedded systems, such as automotive, ICS, robotics, CPS...
