I'm a PhD candidate in the School of Cyber Security & Privacy and School of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. I am advised by Professor Brendan Saltaformaggio.
My research focus on fraud and abuse detection, including forensic techniques on Android banking malware and ethereum smart contracts. Underpinning all my research is the development of fraud and abuse behavior modeling with both program analysis and machine learning. My areas of research span across Android security, banking security, blockchain security, large-scale malware analysis, privacy leakage discovery, and system design that secure user privacy.
