We conduct a broad range of smartphone research:
- Dynamic analysis and monitoring (e.g., network traffic)
- Static analysis with a focus on information flow security
- Record-and-replay and its applications, e.g., test case generation
- Empirical studies on Android bugs
- Twitsper, an Android app for better privacy on Twitter
- Leveraging the idle CPU time on smartphones to build a cloud service
- Building an Android app for detecting apps that cause battery drainage
