Iām a PhD student at UCSB SecLab, advised by Prof. Giovanni Vigna and Prof. Christopher Kruegel. My research mainly focus on improving software quality. I have successfully found more than 20 bugs in PDF readers such as Adobe Acrobat Reader and Foxit PDF Reader and and have assisted developers in fixing them. Additionally, I participated in CTFs as a member of Shellphish.
