Note

I am available to commence PhD studies immediately following my graduation this summer. If you find my profile and research interests to be a good fit for your team, please feel free to reach out via the contact information above.

While Cybersecurity is my main focus and where my core expertise lies, I’m also really passionate about a bunch of other topics that I find absolutely fascinating: Meteorites, Poker, Cigars & Chinese cigarettes, Tea & Coffee, Chinese spirits (Baijiu), Tennis, Politics (specifically China and Vietnam), Animals (Horses and Birds), Buddhism.

I’m always down to connect and make friends with anyone who shares these interests!

PROFILE

Hi there! I am Duc Dat Dau (aka Ryan Do), a final-year Cybersecurity student at Thuyloi University. My primary research revolves around automated vulnerability discovery, with a strong emphasis on fuzzing.

Rooted in a solid background of Reverse Engineering and Binary Exploitation, my work explores low-level program behaviors to uncover complex system vulnerabilities. Beyond software, I am also deeply interested in hardware-assisted security, IoT systems, and the evolving landscape of cybersecurity law and policy in Vietnam. Through my future graduate studies, I aspire to make impactful contributions to both the academic community and the broader security landscape.
