PostProc: === About === --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[img/zlin.jpg] img/zlin.jpg] My name is Zhiqiang Lin, a 3rd year PhD student at [Department of Computer Science, Purdue University http://www.cs.purdue.edu]. My academic advisor is [Prof. Dongyan Xu http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/dxu/]. I also work closely with [Prof. Xuxian Jiang http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/jiang/], and [Prof. Xiangyu Zhang http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/xyzhang]. I am a member of [Lab Friends http://friends.cs.purdue.edu/]. My primary research interests are System and Network Security, with a focus on using the techniques and tools on program analysis (VMM level, OS level, binary level, or source code level) and virtualizations, to instrument VMM, OS, binary, or even program source code to find out the vulnerability in goodware, or to analyze the behavior of malware, or any other interesting aspect inside the program to security. === Research === --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Selected Publications ([full list research.html]). - **Zhiqiang Lin**, Xiangyu Zhang, and Dongyan Xu.
