[Heng Yin]

Hi Security Folks,

Lok Yan, a program manager at AFRL and also my prior student, will come to
visit next Friday. He would like to present his experience about DARPA CGC
from an organizer's point of view, in our reading group. Please come.

If any of you wants to meet with him on that day, please let me know.

Thanks,
Heng

Title:

What I learned from the DARPA CGC.
-Don't be afraid of the unknown.

Short abstract

Being an applied researcher is hard. We are not only faced with theoretical
challenges but also practical ones when we try to apply novel concepts into
real world systems. Some call the latter work "engineering" and its
contributions are often valued less.

My experience working in the DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge infrastructure
team has taught me that engineering is never just engineering. It can be
intellectually challenging, it can be invigorating, and in computer
security it is indispensable.

I will share these lessons learned with you in this talk. The talk will be
in the context of CGC Qualification Event challenge sets that were designed
to differentiate human participants from machines. Despite the
"engineering" nature of the work, the experience has been enlightening and
rewarding.

Short bio

Lok is currently a Senior Computer Engineer at the Air Force Research
Laboratory, Information Directorate. He received his Ph.D. in Computer
Information Science and Engineering from Syracuse University and has
research interests in computer security, virtualization and program
analysis.

Can you send me a talk abstract and a short bio, so I can make an
announcement to the department?

Yes. Please come to my office in Winston Chung Hall 316. It would take
around 1.5 hours to get there though. You can park your car in Lot 13 in
the meter parking area and it takes about 7 minutes to walk to the
building.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.
