Information about the research
We invite applications for PhD positions in Programming Languages and Systems for Security and Privacy. We are looking for applicants with a technical background in security, programming languages, and systems. The PhD students will join a high-profile group of researchers on software security. Software is often the root cause of vulnerabilities in modern computing systems. By focusing on securing the software, we target principled security mechanisms that provide robust protection against large classes of attacks.
