After several success iterations of SecWeb, @stecalzavara and I have decided that it's best for the Web community to merge with MADWeb, as we want to avoid fragmenting the community. So, please consider submitting to madweb.work/ (weather is nicer in San Diego ;-))
Thrilled to announce, our paper titled: "Welcome to Jurassic Park:
A Comprehensive Study of Security Risks in Deno and its Ecosystem" has been accepted at NDSS 2025!

Some top tier conferences have a heavy geographical bias. Software engineering leads in diversity while security mostly sticks to the US. We need to start moving! @NDSSSymposium @IEEESSP @USENIXSecurity live map: nebelwelt.net/gannimo/conf_l…

Looking for a PhD position or know some outstanding student looking for one? A call for a PhD student in my research group is open on test generation for complex and AI based software systems: si.usi.ch/position/2023/09/0…
This Friday, I will be presenting, in person, our paper at @USENIXSecurity located in Anaheim, California. Excited to give the first talk in my PhD, and get to know amazing researchers!

When developing new research ideas, I ask myself: How could their result fit in _a single sentence_? In this interview, I show how this shapes my research, its communication, and the quest for impact. Enjoy!

"والفهم إنما يكون مع اعتدال آلته، فإذا عُدِم الاعتدال لم يكن قبول، كالطينة إذا كانت يابسة أو منحلة لم تقبل الختم، وإنما تقبله في حال اعتدالها، وإذا أكدى الطالب مع الاجتهاد، فكيف يكون مع الهوينا والفتور؟! "

"وقال الجاحظ: العلم عزيز الجانب، لا يعطيك بعضه حتى تعطيه كلك، وأنت إذا أعطيته كلك كنت من إعطائه إياك البعض على خطر!
وقد صدق، فكم من راغبٍ مجتهد ٍفي طلبه لا يحظى منه بطائلٍ على طول تعبه، ومواصلة دأبه ونصبه، وذلك إذا نقص ذكاؤه وكلَّ ذهنه ونبت قريحته."

To avoid incomplete and incorrect citations in papers, I wrote a script to automatically correct BibTex files: github.com/bajinsheng/bibtid…
Just one click: `bibtidy --file "test.bib" --output test_checked.bib`!
