Science and Technology FAX: 325-443-2583 Email: heyin [at] syr [dot] edu |
I am an assistant professor in the department of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Syracuse University. Prior to
joining Syracuse University, I was a member of BitBlaze research group at UC Berkeley.
Research
My research interests lie in computer security.
In particular, I'm working on executable code analysis (also called binary
analysis), and its application to computer security. My PhD dissertation
tackled the problem of automatic detection and analysis of malicious code.
First, I developed a generic and extensible dynamic binary analysis platform,
codenamed TEMU, which is based on an open-source CPU emulator QEMU.
Then I proposed a series of techniques to detect and analyze malicious
behaviors from several different aspects. These techniques were implemented as
plugins to TEMU platform, namely Renovo,Panorama, HookFinder,
and HookScout. Check my dissertation for more details.
I have also worked on network security topics,
such as IPsec, Email Spam, and BGP security.
Please check out my publication page and my CV if you want to get more information
about my research!
