We work on security and privacy problems in general. Our current research directions include:
LLMs for security: leveraging LLMs/agents to solve open security 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 have openings for a Ph.D. student (Spring/Fall 2027), a postdoctoral researcher, research assistants, and visiting students. The Ph.D. and postdoctoral positions are fully funded. Research assistant and visiting student positions are funded on an as-available basis. Candidates funded via external sources (e.g., CSC) are welcome to apply.
We expect the candidates to have (1) strong motivation and intellectual curiosity in related research directions, (2) solid technical skills, ideally demonstrated through top security publications (e.g., IEEE S&P/USENIX Security/ACM CCS), and (3) good communication skills in English.
Our goal is to help each student grow into an independent researcher, who is able to identify important problems and develop rigorous solutions. If you are interested in joining us, 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.
