Promoted from Associate to Full Professor. Fewer letters, more committees. 🙂 Thanks to all the graduate students, postdocs, and colleagues. I wouldn't have made it here without you!

Huge congrats to my students — three papers accepted to Black Hat this year (two USA). 2026 may be remembered as the year AI-powered vulnerability discovery truly took off. But finding bugs is only the first half. The second half is automating and engineering the exploit chain.

I just earned tenure at UC San Diego! Very grateful to everyone who played a part in it! It's been a long, and at times rather difficult, but mostly fun journey! Special thanks to my students and family!

I am thrilled to be taking the stage with Yufei Gu from @Snowflake at #OpenXData 2026! 🚀 We’re diving into "Polaris Meets Apache Hudi": discussing how we’re unifying lakehouse metadata and governance across table formats without compromise.
