About me
Hi, I’m Paschal (pas-kal).
I’m a PhD student at Purdue University’s Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, currently advised by Prof Jamie Davis and Prof Aravind Machiry.
Research Interests
My research sits at the intersection of software engineering, security, and cyber-physical systems. I improve the security of software systems by studying prevalent security vulnerabilities and designing novel and practical systems to detect them or prevent their exploitation.
