Yajin Zhou

I am a second year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina State University, working with my advisor Dr. Xuxian Jiang. My current research mainly focuses on smart-phone security. Before pursuing the Ph.D. degree from 2010 fall, I worked as software engineer in MIPS Technologies at Shanghai and Realtek Semiconductor R&D center at Suzhou, China.
