Stefan Nagy
I'm an Assistant Professor in the Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah. I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Virginia Tech in 2022 and my Bachelor's from The University of Illinois in 2016.
Broadly, I am interested in security, software, and systems. Some areas I work in include software testing, binary analysis, vulnerability triage, and bug repair. I am especially interested in making efficient and effective quality assurance possible for opaque and otherwise challenging software and systems.
