Stephen Crane is finishing up his PhD in computer security with the Secure Systems and Software Laboratory at the University of California, Irvine. His current research primarily focuses around novel and practical defenses for the abundance of unsafe systems software. When hes not staring at machine code or hacking on compilers, you can often find him playing games of all sorts. Before coming to UCI, Stephen received a BS in CS from Cal Poly Pomona, where he enjoyed competing in the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition.
