Stephen McCamant joined the Department of Computer Science & Engineering as an assistant professor in 2012 and was later promoted to an associate professor. He received his M.S. (2004) and Ph.D. (2008) in computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prior to coming to the University, McCamant served as a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Berkeley from 2008-11, a research scientist at the University of California, Berkeley from 2011-12, and as a senior scientist at GammaTech, Inc. in 2017.
Prof. McCamant's research focuses on applications of program analysis for software security and correctness. Much of his work analyzes software at the binary (executable) level, and uses decision procedures and symbolic execution. Application areas of his work include binary transformation, instruction-level hardening and isolation, dynamic binary translation, information flow, and taint analysis.
