Mr David Baker Effendi, an MSc-student in Computer Sciences at Stellenbosch University, has received an Amazon Research Award based on his innovative research in program analysis with applications in bug-finding and cybersecurity.
The Amazon Research Awards  include cash and Amazon Web Services (AWS) promotional credits for making use of Amazon's cloud computing resources. David says the award will help to cover his tuition fees and living expenses but, most importantly, it will provide him with much needed computing resources for his experiments and research.
In his research, under the supervision of Prof Brink van der Merwe, David combines graph theory and machine learning for automated vulnerability detection in software. His research thus far has led to collaboration with Dr Fabian Yamaguchi, chief researcher at the code security platform ShiftLeft, and the introduction of a computer security module on Honors level at Stellenbosch University.
