Baris Kasikci completed his Ph.D. in the Dependable Systems Laboratory (DSLAB) at EPFL, advised by George Candea. His research is centered
around developing techniques, tools, and environments that help developers build more reliable and secure software. He is interested
in finding solutions that allow programmers to better reason about their code, and that efficiently detect bugs, classify them, and
diagnose their root cause. He especially focuses on bugs that manifest in production, because they are hard and time-consuming. He is also
interested in efficient runtime instrumentation, hardware and runtime support for enhancing system security, and program analysis under
various memory models.
Baris is one of the four recipients of the VMware 2014-2015 Graduate Fellowship. During his Ph.D., he interned at Microsoft Research,
VMware, and Intel. Before starting his Ph.D., he worked as a software engineer for four years, mainly developing real-time embedded systems
software. Before joining EPFL, he was working for Siemens Corporate Technology. More details can be found at
