Tianyang Zhou (周天阳)
I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Security and Privacy group at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, co-advised by Prof. Kirill Levchenko and Prof. Varun Chandrasekaran. I am broadly interested in computer security, with a focus on software and system security. Currently, I am working on developing techniques to detect and mitigate security vulnerabilities in open-source software.
Before joining UIUC, I received M.S. degree in Computer Engineering from University of California, San Diego, and my B.Eng. degree in Software Engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University.
