Collaborative Research, not Competitive Research

Summary

Listen to this interview of Lianglu Pan, PhD Student, and Shaanan Cohney, Senior Lecturer, and also Thuan Pham, Senior Lecturer — everyone at University of Melbourne, Australia. We talk about their coauthored paper EDEFuzz: A Web API Fuzzer for Excessive Data Exposures (ICSE 2024).

Thuan Pham : "The reading pattern in our group goes something like this: When reading to broaden our knowledge and come up with ideas, we focus on the conceptual contribution of a paper, instead of zeroing right in on the technical side. Because, when the conceptual side is good, then the paper can be readily applied to similar problems — and what's more, the technical side becomes vastly easier to understand once you've understood the concept to begin."
