I am actively looking for motivated and capable Ph.D. students and post-docs interested in security, privacy, program analysis, and compilers to work with me on a wide range of exciting topics in systems security or programming languages. See the official info about scholarships here. Please send me an email if you think you may be interested. Please use "Ph.D. application" or "Post-doc application" as your email subject line to be considered. Please highlight your existing research experience, including papers published, if any, and also why you'd like to work with me. I try to respond to all email, but cannot always promise it.
