We have openings for Ph.D. students (Spring/Fall 2027), research assistants, and visiting students. We work on security and privacy problems in general. Our current research directions include:
LLMs for security: leveraging LLMs/agents to solve open security/program analysis problems such as vulnerability detection, exploit generation, and patch analysis.
Security of AI systems: analyzing the security and reliability of real-world AI/agent deployments from a systems perspective.
We expect the candidates to have (1) strong motivation and intellectual curiosity in our research directions, (2) solid technical skills, ideally demonstrated through prior research projects or publications, and (3) good communication skills in English. Our goal is to help each student grow into an independent researcher, able to identify important problems and develop rigorous solutions.
If you are interested, please fill out this form. There is no need to email me. I will review each application carefully and reach out to you within two weeks if there is a good fit.
Current NTU undergraduate and master's students who are seeking research projects are especially encouraged to apply for the research assistant (RA) position through the form above.
Positions in our group can be funded directly by the group or through external scholarships and fellowships. Externally funded candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
