Internship: App Analysis Android: Android specific data flow analysis

In this internship, you will be part of a Munich-based app analysis Java team that focuses on developing tools for automatically analyzing Android apps. The main objective of this project is to research and identify potential missing edges in a traditional call graph in Android, and analyze how these missing edges impact the performance of data flow analysis. Your responsibilities will include investigating different techniques to add missing edges, as well as identifying additional steps required to identify data flows along those edges. This role requires experience with Java, a strong interest in code analysis, and the ability to independently conduct structured research.
