I am an undergraduate student research assistant in the SecLab group at UCSB. In this work, we plan to advance the state-of-the-art in embedded systems analysis by creating a system capable of automatically identifying regions of code that induce physical phenomena (e.g., turn on a light, unlock a door, actuate a motor). We then plan to leverage this system to identify security-critical flaws in the implementations of the firmware on various embedded devices (e.g., unlock a door without proper credentials). Moreover, we plan to leverage symbolic execution to not only identify these flaws, but produce reliable proof-of-concept inputs to produce the desired effect on production systems. The specific tasks will be: reverse engineering micro-controller-based systems (e.g., RFID readers, PC peripherals, Internet of Things devices) to understand their functionality, developing techniques for automating these currently manual tasks, and programming novel algorithms for handling general firmware analysis.• Constructed an original Arduino 3-way door lock to analyze relationships between code and physical phenomena.• Analyzing binary code in IDA to work backwards and identify ‘action triggering code’.• Programmed in C/C++ for the lock system and Angr for the binary analysis.

I made an original autonomous room mapping car that uses sensors to navigate walls and stores turn data to extract and use to map a room at a later time.

Went to Kenya for two weeks to document the work Village Enterprise was doing and capture the impact on the local residents. Gathered pictures and video of workers and villagers to gain advice on what to improve in the future.
