Minjun (Elena) Long
CS PhD Student at University of Virginia
Rice Hall 336
Charlottesville, VA
I am a fourth-year Computer Science PhD candidate at the University of Virginia, where I am fortunate to be advised by Professor David Evans in Security Research Group. My research and work experience reflect my openness to a broad range of projects aimed at enhancing computer security and safeguarding user privacy in an increasingly data-driven world. I was supervised by Professor Yuan Tian for my undergraduate research. My past research includes analyzing code to find vulnerable patterns, examining online platforms to address privacy issues, and building privacy-preserving systems.
My Chinese name is written as 龙玟君, and I go by Elena in my daily life. I drew my self-portrait on the right with Procreate, celebrating the Year of the Snake (2025).
