Jie Zhou

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the George Washington University. I obtained my PhD from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Rochester, advised by John Criswell. Before Rochester, I received my Bachelor's degree from Xiamen University.

I do Systems Research with a focus on systems and software security. I advocate for language-based security: programming languages are the direct medium through which programmers express their ideas, and compilers are the direct medium that translate these expressions to the ultimately executed machine code. I believe methods oriented around languages and compilers solve computer security concerns in a fundamental manner.

Be alert, for your software is buggy and full of vulnerabilities!
