Welcome to Shuo Tang's homepage

My name is Shuo Tang. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in May 2011 from the Department of Computer Science of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. For my Ph.D., I did research for operating systems security, trying to find a systematically secure solution for secure web browsing. Here is a copy of my dissertation.

If you are looking for the source code of the OP web browser, you can find it here.
