Salvatore J. Stolfo is Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University. He received his Ph.D. from NYU Courant Institute in 1979 and has been on the faculty of Columbia ever since. He has published extensively in the areas of parallel computing, AI Knowledge-based systems, Data Mining and most recently Computer Security and Intrusion Detection Systems. His research has been supported by DARPA, NSF, ONR, and numerous companies and state and federal agencies.
Ang Cui is a 3rd year PhD Student. His research is currently focus is on embedded devices such as home and corporate routers and cell phones. He is the primary inventor of a novel host-based defense mechanism known as Symbiotic Embedded Machines. SEMs are designed specifically to retrofit black-box, vulnerable legacy embedded systems with sophisticated anti-exploitation mechanisms. Over the past 3 years, Ang has been actively quantifying the extent of the embedded threat in real-world environments, developing novel exploitation techniques for embedded systems such as enterprise networking equipment and developing practical defenses for embedded systems which constitutes our global communication substrate.
His current projects include: Symbiotic Embedded Machines and Vulnerable Embedded Device Scan.
Nathaniel Boggs is a 2nd year PhD Student. Nathaniel is currently researching anomaly detection systems. His current project Autosense (http://ids.ftw.fm/Home/projects/stand) deals with collaboratively identifying zero day web server attacks.
Michael Costello is a 2nd year Masters Student. His research is focused on embedded systems and is currently working on the Vulnerable Embedded Device Scan.
Jill Jermyn is a first year Masters Student. She is intrigued by most areas of information security and is currently working on DARPA ADAMS and Meerkats. Before becoming interested in computing, she spent her life as a concert violinist.
