Name:Brent Pappas

Bio:

I am a Computer Science PhD student at the University of Central Florida (UCF) studying under Dr. Paul Gazzillo.

Much of my PhD research has focused on translating C preprocessor macros to C code in order to better enable existing C translators to translate real-world C programs to safer programming languages such as Rust.

In the past, I have also conducted live studies of three-person debugging teams to determine what makes for effective team debugging.

Most recently, I have been researching techniques to analyze software build systems in order to detect and prevent build system attacks.
