Hi! I'm Jason Liu, a sixth-year PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I'm advised by Prof. Adam Bates and am a member of the Secure & Transparent Systems Laboratory. I broadly research systems security, with a focus on the practicality of security systems.
I am currently on the market for jobs in industry!
