Biography
“The usage of security analysis tools should become an industrial convention in secure software development. However, we need to create usable analysis tools at first.”
Linghui Luo (Chinese: 罗灵慧) is a PhD student advised by Prof. Eric Bodden. She works as a research assistant in the Software Engineering Group at Paderborn University since July 2017. Her research interests include program analysis (mainly Taint Analysis for Java and Android applications) and empirical software engineering. She believes Open Source is the future and contributes to the open source community.
