Dongpeng Xu
I'm an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of New Hampshire. I received my Ph.D. in Information Sciences and Technology at the Pennsylvania State University. My research interest is cybersecurity. I am interested in software security, especially program analysis on binary code, malware analysis and detection, program protection, software testing, program similarity analysis, and model checking.
