Biography
Bo Feng is a doctoral student in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, advised by Long Lu. His research is focused on automating bug-finding in Internet of Things (IoT) firmware by way of fuzzing. Bo is interested in detecting and reporting vulnerabilities in IoT systems with ease and ultimately developing more secure devices.
During the first year of his doctoral program, Bo built an OS for x86-64 architecture with virtual memory, ring protection, pre-emptive scheduling, and an in-memory file system from scratch. Within his research, Bo would like to build more secure IoT devices and finds evaluating and enhancing computer systems in practical ways most interesting.
