Thuan Pham is a Senior Lecturer in Cyber Security at the University of Melbourne (UoM). He has been working on scalable and high-performance fuzz testing to improve the reliability & security of software systems. Before joining UoM, he worked with Dr. Marcel Böhme at Monash University and Provost's Chair Professor Abhik Roychoudhury at National University of Singapore (NUS) as a postdoctoral Research Fellow. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from NUS in July 2017. His research, in collaboration with companies and government agencies, has led to many papers published at premier journals and conferences (e.g., TSE, EMSE, ICSE, CCS, ISSTA), one U.S. patent, and one Australian provisional patent. One of his papers won a Distinguished Paper Award at ICSE'24. He has developed several open-source automated security testing tools (e.g., AFLGo, AFLSmart, AFLNet, AFLTeam) that are responsible for 100+ (critical) vulnerabilities discovered in large real-world software systems. His research has been featured on media channels like Theregister.co.uk and Securityweek.com.
