Biography
Omid Mirzaei is a postdoctoral research associate in the Systems Security Lab at Northeastern University, working with Engin Kirda. Within systems and cybersecurity, he is particularly interested in mobile security, malware analysis, reverse engineering, and applied machine learning in security. In addition, Omid is eager to tackle security issues from a multi-objective perspective, such as trying to deal with such problems by consuming the least possible amount of in-hand resources.
Before this, Omid was an assistant professor at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, where he spent four years at the COmputer SECurity Lab (COSEC) as a doctoral student. During his doctoral studies, he worked on Android malware analysis and triage, where his primary focus was on developing systems to identify potentially risky Android applications. As a postdoctoral researcher, he has dedicated his research to solving security and privacy issues in systems that have access to users’ personal information. Going forward, Omid would like to continue working in his field, to find problems that are critical and important for people which can be solved from a security and privacy point of view.
