Dr. Mohammadreza Ashouri
My name is Mohammadreza (Mo) Ashouri, a Ph. D. in software engineering, and a cybersecurity researcher at the University of Potsdam in Germany. I am particularly interested in Program Analysis, Designing Secure Compilers, Automatic Exploit Generation, and Concolic Fuzzing. I have also published multiple scientific papers and given talks in some of the top-notch academic/industrial conferences.
Here is the list of the recent places that I have published and given my presentations:

Regarding my working experience, I have had the chance to work as a cybersecurity analyst and researcher at CISPA (Helmholtz Center for Information Security), Google Research, Oracle Labs, and the Univerity of Potsdam. I am also the founder of PersimmonWeb, which is a software development startup. I currently live in Berlin, and I like cycling, photography, bug bounty programs, and crafting electronic music.
