Students

NOTE:

I am actively looking for talented and motivated students to join my research group. Full RA-ship is available. If you are a student at Purdue and you are interested in my research, feel free to reach me at any time. If you are not a student at Purdue, please apply to the program first and mention my name as your intended advisor. Only then please email me with your research interests and CV.

I also provide internship opportunities for doing research with me. You will spend a summer (3 months) at Purdue working with me on some cool projects, and you will be fully funded. Note that internships apply to both domestic and international students. If you are interested in this, please email me with your research interests and CV.

I also have a postdoc position available for low-level systems security research. Knowledge of embedded systems, OS kernels, binary analysis, compilers/decompilers, hardware security would be a plus. If you are interested in this, please email me with your research interests and CV.

Note: Due to high volume of my emails, I simply could not respond to every email sent to me. But I do check every email sent to me carefully (and hopefully timely). If I find your CV or background interesting, I will reach out to you. Thanks.

Note: My student Arslan Khan is in the job market this year (2023~2024)! If you are looking for systems security researcher with expertise in embedded systems security, language for security, and confidential computing, please check out him. Thanks.
