Research information

My research focus is on binary manipulation, in particular pushing the bounds of abstract modification on stripped binaries. I am working with my advisor, Professor Barton P. Miller and the Paradyn Project. My current research investigates code motion during binary modification, particularly what behaviors are modified during code motion and whether the new behavior modifies the result of the program.

Previous areas of investigation include dynamic call-path profiling, as well as instrumentation and control of multithreaded programs.
