Note

I am prepared to begin graduate research at the Master’s or Ph.D. level immediately after my graduation in the summer of next year. If my research interests align with yours and you believe I may be a suitable candidate, please feel free to contact me using the information provided above.

After reading this blog by Prof. Andreas Zeller, I am especially excited about pursuing graduate study in Germany 🇩🇪.

PROFILE

I am a final-year Cybersecurity student at Thuyloi University, specializing in automated vulnerability discovery with a strong focus on Fuzzing.

Building upon a strong foundation in Reverse Engineering and Binary Exploitation, my research focuses on the analysis of low-level program behaviors and system vulnerabilities. I am also interested in hardware-assisted security, the protection of Internet of Things (IoT) systems, and the emerging field of cybersecurity law and policy in Vietnam - areas in which I aspire to make meaningful academic and societal contributions in the future.
