I am interested in all aspects of cyber security, including Unix and Linux kernel security, software verification and cyber hardening, malware detection and reverse engineering (especially at the kernel and boot-stage firmware levels), wireless networking, digital radio, and visualizations of security-related information. I am interested in identifying and eliminating the root causes of software vulnerabilities, and I believe that this requires connecting state-of-the-art hacking with fundamental concepts of computer science. I believe that edge-of-the-art hacking has developed into a distinct discipline of computer science, even though not formally recognized as such, and that studying it is indispensable for building future computing systems we could finally trust.
