Research Interests
My area of research covers a broad range of cybersecurity topics, including:
Software Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities and Mitigations
- in the context of hypervisor, kernel, and user-level software
- hardening techniques via emerging processor (CPU) technologies (e.g., VT-x, MPK, PAC, etc.)
- anatomy of code-reuse attacks, data-oriented attacks, heap flaws, etc.
- in-process data and code memory isolation techniques
Fuzzing low-level Software
- targeting kernel (e.g. the Linux kernel) and hypervisor (e.g. Xen) implementations
- via coverage-tracing, symbolic execution, and hybrid techniques
Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) and Confidential Computing
- Attacks & applications
- Technologies (SGX, TrustZone, and AMD SME/SEV)
Software Mitigations for Microarchitectural Flaws
- Meltdown, Spectre, Foreshadow, etc.
Secure & Anonymous Online Voting Systems
- online voting architecture design (secure software stack, resilient network topology, anonimity)
- vulnerabilities in existing online voting platforms
Open Student Topics
- BA/MA/GR - Intra-unikernel Isolation using Hardware Virtualization Techniques
- BA/MA - Hardening User-Space Heap Allocators
Teaching
