Jinsheng Ba

My name is Jinsheng Ba (巴金声 in Chinese). I am currently a PhD candidate in the Trustworthy Engineering of Software Technologies (TEST) Lab at National University of Singapore (NUS), and fortunate to be advised by Prof. Manuel Rigger.

I am broadly interested in computer security (e.g., CTF, threat intelligence, reverse engineering, and malware detection). More recently, I focus on software testing via fuzzing.
