Existing approaches fall short: coverage-driven fuzzers (e.g., HYPERPILL) explore broadly but rely on crash oracles, missing non-crashing vulnerabilities, while specification-based systems (e.g., Ghost) detect semantic violations but constrain input generation and under explore adversarial cases.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThis thesis focuses on systematic bug finding in pKVM by combining semantic oracles with coverage-guided, adversarial fuzzing. Executable interface specifications are used to flag behavioral inconsistencies, while mutation-based input generation deliberately produces both valid and model-violating inputs to reach boundary conditions and deep execution paths. The approach further incorporates EL2 coverage feedback and concurrent vCPU sequences to expose bugs such as silent state corruption, ownership violations, and TOCTOU races.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe goal is to uncover security-critical vulnerabilities that evade both crash-based fuzzing and model-constrained testing, particularly in unspecified or adversarial input classes. More broadly, the work aims to establish a practical methodology for bug-driven testing of production hypervisors.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\ncoming soon", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-08T11:14:42", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-08T11:14:42", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BC 133", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BC%20133", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "Sofiia Saltovskaia", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDIC candidacy exam", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120701/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences -

To design a model dealing with specific tasks, a natural starting point is to specify an appropriate utility (reward) function and optimize it. However, in practice, there are many factors that require attention when making decisions. This work mainly considers two factors: risk and uncertainty, and aims to study decision making through an information-theoretic lens, developing algorithms and interpretations for optimizing risk-sensitive utility functions under uncertainty.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\n1. 1968 - Mossin - Optimal Multiperiod Portfolio Policies<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.jstor.org/stable/2351447\">https://www.jstor.org/stable/2351447</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n2. 1984 - Cover - An Algorithm for Maximizing Expected Log Investment Return<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1056869\">https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1056869</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n3. 2019 - Bleuler-Lapidoth-Pfister - Gambling and Rényi Divergence<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8849800\">https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8849800</a><br>\r\n ", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-04-14T14:29:53", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-20T21:12:06", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BC 133", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BC%20133", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "Bo-Yu Yang", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDIC candidacy exam", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120375/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71932, "title": "Failure-Aware LLM Serving for Agentic Workloads", "slug": "failure-aware-llm-serving-for-agentic-workloads", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/failure-aware-llm-serving-for-agentic-workloads", "visual_url": null, "visual_large_url": null, "visual_maxsize_url": null, "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-17", "end_date": "2026-06-17", "start_time": "09:00:00", "end_time": "11:00:00", "description": "<u>EDIC candidacy exam</u><br>\r\nExam president: Prof. Anastasia Ailamaki<br>\r\nThesis advisor: Prof. Anne-Marie Kermarrec<br>\r\nCo-examiner: Prof. Robert West<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Abstract</u><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>ReAct (<a href=\"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.03629\" target=\"_blank\">https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.03629</a>)</li>\r\n\t<li>Agentix (<a href=\"https://www.usenix.org/system/files/nsdi26-luo.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.usenix.org/system/files/nsdi26-luo.pdf</a>)</li>\r\n\t<li>Why do multi-agent systems fail?

Since fixing all driver bugs is nearly impossible, isolation of drivers is necessary to be a fundamental mechanism for reducing the attack surface between system composition boundaries. Compared with hardware-based isolation(Xen, Nooks, etc) and software-based isolation (e.g. SFI), language-based isolation often gains fine-grained safety, such as type constraints and thread-safety properties. <br>\r\nSafeDrive was an early effort to protect Linux C drivers using type checks, memory-safety invariants, and recovery support, but it still had overhead and incomplete safety. RedLeaf, built in Rust completely, reduces runtime checks by relying on Rust's ownership system while enabling efficient communication through validated interfaces. As Rust enters mainline Linux, a new challenge appears: Rust components need to interact with legacy foreign-language code, where safety guarantees can break. Omniglot addresses this by enabling safe, zero-copy interaction between Rust and unmodified untrusted code using carefully designed memory isolation primitives.<br>\r\nGoing forward, my research will continue to focus on the intersection of operating systems and programming languages.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<u>Selected papers</u><br>\r\n<strong>Paper 1: </strong>SafeDrive: Safe and Recoverable Extensions Using Language-Based Techniques [OSDI'06]\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/1298455.1298461\">https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/1298455.1298461</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Paper 2: </strong>RedLeaf: Isolation and Communication in a Safe Operating System [OSDI'20]\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi20/presentation/narayanan-vikram\">https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi20/presentation/narayanan-vikram</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Paper 3: </strong>Building Bridges: Safe Interactions with Foreign Languages through Omniglot [OSDI'25]\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi25/presentation/schuermann\">https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi25/presentation/schuermann</a></li>\r\n</ul>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-08T11:09:55", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-08T11:10:13", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BC 133", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BC%20133", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [], "speaker": "Yiwen Xu", "organizer": "", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDIC candidacy exam", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120700/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/48/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70922, "title": "Une éducation au réel.

From its beginnings within the EPUL to its integration into the EPFL campus, this historical journey puts into perspective the conditions of architectural education, its relationship with engineering, and the role of archives in building an institutional memory that sheds light on both the discipline of architecture and its teaching.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>Guided tours are available upon <a href=\"https://forms.gle/22MoeLq9n3JDQTb56\">registration</a></em><br>\r\n<em>Guided tours can be organized upon request for groups and schools</em>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-02-18T10:55:58", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-18T10:59:47", "link_label": "Des Cèdres à Dorigny, bâtir l'école d'architecture", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/campus/art-culture/museum-exhibitions/archizoom/fr/des-cedres-a-dorigny-batir-lecole-darchitecture/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "Archizoom", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SG%201212", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Barbara Galimberti, Kethsana Muong", "organizer": "Archizoom ACM", "contact": "Solène Hoffmann", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Journée internationale des archives, architecture, archives, histoire, construction, exposition", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119774/", "category": { "id": 9, "code": "MANIF", "fr_label": "Événements festifs et culturels", "en_label": "Cultural events", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/22/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/45/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/145/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/421/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71443, "title": "Mathematics Colloquium", "slug": "mathematics-colloquium-13", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/mathematics-colloquium-13", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32790/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32790/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32790/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-17", "end_date": "2026-06-17", "start_time": "16:15:00", "end_time": "17:15:00", "description": "<strong>Title</strong>: <br>\r\nPositive random walks and positive-semidefinite random matrices<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Abstract</strong>:<br>\r\nOn the real line, a random walk that can only move in the positive direction is very unlikely to remain close to its origin. After a fixed number of steps, the left tail has a Gaussian profile under minimal assumptions. Remarkably, a similar phenomenon occurs when we consider a positive random walk on the cone of positive-semidefinite matrices. After a fixed number of steps, the minimum eigenvalue is described by a Gaussian random matrix model.<br>\r\nThis talk introduces a new way to make this intuition rigorous. The methodology addresses an open problem in computational mathematics about sparse random embeddings. The presentation targets a general mathematical audience.<br>\r\nPreprint: <a href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.16578\" target=\"_blank\">https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.16578</a><br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Please register on the following form : </strong>https://forms.gle/ppXwKo9HmTgFk3rc7", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-04-01T11:03:30", "last_modification_date": "2026-04-01T11:03:45", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "BCH 2201", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==BCH%202201", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Prof. Joel A.
