About Sara Vaccino
Hello! My name is Sara, and I'm a soon to be second-year computer science undergrad student at EPFL, in Switzerland. I am passionate about technology, and how it can be used to help communities.
My research this summer is in system security, a branch of cybersecurity. I will expand, and improve the accuracy of, Magma, a benchmark for fuzzers - a software testing technique using randomized input (data) to reveal the faults in the program. This technique helps finding bugs (errors) that would not have been reached using other popular tests. My goal is to find and implement Proof-of-Concepts - files that prove that a specific faulty part of the code can be reached and can trigger an error (a crash).
Besides coding, I enjoy all kinds of sports (currently (beach) volleyball and basketball), as well as reading. I also enjoy spending time in nature, be it on a hike or just in a park, or by a lake. I love traveling, discovering new places and cultures, and meeting new people.
I am enjoy meeting new people and sharing perspectives, so please don't hesitate to contact me!

Great work, Bianca! Using emerging technologies to make education more accessible is incredibly inspiring! I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your study-
Fascinating work Thomas! I am amazed by how, at the end of the day, we always turn back to nature to progress in technology - and life in general. Wish you the best of luck for the rest of your project, and can't wait to see the final result!
Astonishing work and great article, Théo! The analogy with the soup really helps understand how you extract the data. Wish you all the best with your work, and can't wait to see how you implement the automation :)
I have never heard about fuzzers before so thank you for teaching these new concepts. It sounds very important for cybersecurity! Congratulation for your work Sara !
Thank you so much, Emma! I'm glad you were able to learn more about cybersecurity.
This sounds really cool, Sara! It’s great to see work that helps make software safer by improving how fuzzers find bugs. I’m excited to learn more about how this all works!!
Thanks you, Ben! It means a lot. Looking forward to learn more about your research as well!
Amazing post! Your work will help find more efficient solutions to battle global carbon emissions. I look forward to seeing the results of your research! Good luck with your project!
