Who am I?

My name is Shengtuo Hu. I am currently working at Palo Alto Networks ByteDance Meta! Earlier on Sep 2022, I obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, supervised by Prof. Z. Morley Mao. Before coming to UMich, in 2016, I received my B.Eng. in Software Engineering from Tongji University in Shanghai, China. After that, I was fortunate to work as a research assistant for Prof. Daniel Xiapu Luo at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

I have a great passion for cybersecurity and have always considered myself a fast learner and a hands-on person. Recently, I am generally interested in program analysis (LLVM), fuzzing, and network protocols (e.g., HTTP/2, HTTP/3, QUIC). During the Ph.D. journey, my main focus is vulnerability discovery and security enhancement regarding distributed and networked systems, like Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV).
