Joshua Bundt is a doctoral student at Northeastern University's Khoury College of Computer Sciences, advised by Engin Kirda and William Robertson. He is interested in systems security, specifically binary analysis, reverse engineering, and malware, and creating systems that autonomously find and patch vulnerabilities in software. With his research, Joshua hopes to strengthen the security of software and systems through program analysis.

Joshua has a graduate degree in computer science from the Naval Postgraduate School and completed his undergraduate degree at the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY. He hopes to continue research with the Army Cyber Institute to help prepare the U.S. Army for the security threats and opportunities of the future, while also having the opportunity to develop future leaders at the United States Military Academy. In his spare time, Joshua has a passion for capture-the-flag competitions and digital forensics.
