Collin Mulliner

Collin Mulliner is a postdoctoral researcher in the Systems Security Lab at Northeastern University. Collin’s main interest is the security and privacy of mobile and embedded systems with an emphasis on mobile and smart phones. Since 1997 Collin worked on all kinds of mobile devices and touched most of the mobile platforms for either software development or security work. Collin received a Ph.D. from the Technische Universitaet Berlin in 2011, and a M.S. and B.S. in computer science from UC Santa Barbara and FH-Darmstadt, respectively. Collin has a broad interest in systems security that is somehow connected to mobile devices and cellular infrastructure. He has a specific interest in vulnerability analysis and offensive security but recently switched his focus to the defensive side to work on mitigations and countermeasures.
