Biography
“The usage of Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Tools should become an industrial convention in secure software development. However, we need to create usable tools at first.”
Linghui Luo is an Applied Scientist at Amazon Web Services. Prior to that, she worked as a research associate in the Secure Software Engineering Group at Paderborn University from 2017 to 2021. She received her PhD degree from Paderborn University in 2021 and was advised by Prof. Eric Bodden. Her research interests include program analysis with a security focus, empirical software engineering and usable security & privacy. She is mostly interested in designing and tuning static analysis tools based on the empirical data from the real world and needs of software developers. She believes Open Source is the future and contributes to the open source community. She is the creator of MagpieBridge and one of the main contributers of the FutureSoot project.
📢 I'm very honored to receive the Ernst Denert Software Engineering Award.
