Summary
Mian Wan is a software engineer specializing in security with a decade of experience applying program analysis to automate detection and remediation of software and security issues. Currently at ByteDance, he builds static analysis tools and KMS SDKs while performing product security reviews and penetration testing for large-scale services. His PhD work at USC produced novel static and dynamic analysis techniques for mobile UI energy optimization and large-scale studies of app developer practices, demonstrating a mix of research rigor and practical tooling. Earlier research uncovered a covert channel in the Xen hypervisor and resulted in a patent-backed dynamic location-based authentication method, highlighting a knack for finding subtle system vulnerabilities. Based in Ontario, he combines academic depth with production engineering to deliver auditable, automated security solutions that scale.
