I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at George Mason University. I received my PhD in the College of Information Sciences and Technology from Penn State University in August, 2017, working under the supervision of Dr. Peng Liu. The easiest way to contact me is through email at lluo4 (at) gmu (dot) edu.
My research mainly focuses on software and systems security. My reserach interests include software analysis and verification, vulnerability analysis, malware analysis, programming languages, software engineering, and deep learning.
RA Position is Available:
Our Software and Systems Security research lab is recruiting PhD Students and Post-Doctoral Researchers..
I am looking for motivated students! Please don't hesitate to email me if you are interested in my research.
In addition to our research lab, I have co-founded an HBCU-GMU Collaborative Lab to promote Cybersecurity education. We look for students from underrepresented groups to join us.
