Bio and Contacts CV

Qiang Liu is a postdoc at EPFL, working with Prof. Mathias Payer in the HexHive laboratory. He earned his Ph.D. in 2023 from Zhejiang University (ZJU) under the guidance of Prof. Yajin Zhou. His research interest is system security that seeks to establish chain of trust spanning the entire technology stack, from low-level software to user applications, and from individual computers to large-scale distributed and heterogeneous systems, by 1) building dynamic analysis platforms to examine the chain of trust through full-chain exploits; and, 2) on top of these platforms, developing both pre- release vulnerability identification and post-release attack mitigation techniques, grounded in a deep understanding of hardware and software. His work has been recognized at all the top security conferences: IEEE S&P, Usenix Security, ACM CCS, and ISOC NDSS. He received the Best Paper Awards at USENIX Security'24 and ACM RAID'24. He is also serving on the program committee for IEEE/ACM ASE'25 and USENIX Security'25 and is a reviewer for ACM CSUR and ACM TOSEM. See his CV and Google Scholar for more information.
