This is Aditya Pakki's webiste:

https://adityapakki.github.io/

In this "About" page:

https://adityapakki.github.io/about/

he claims "Hi there! My name is Aditya and I’m a second year Ph.D student in Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Minnesota. My research interests are in the areas of computer security, operating systems, and machine learning. I’m fortunate to be advised by Prof. Kangjie Lu."

so he in no uncertain terms is claiming that he is being advised in his research by Kangjie Lu. So it's incorrect to say his patches have nothing to do with the paper.

I would encourage you not to post people's contact information publicly, specially in a thread as volatile as this one. Writing "He claims in his personal website" would bring the point across fine.

This being the internet, I'm sure the guy is getting plenty of hate mail as it is. No need to make it worse.

  • They are named in the comment above. Aditya Pakki's personal website is the first result upon Googling that name.

    I doubt HN has the volume of readership/temperament to lead to substantial hate mail (unlike, say, Twitter).

    • I would hope most here are above spamming hatemail to things they aren't involved with...

> So it's incorrect to say his patches have nothing to do with the paper.

Professors usually work on multiple projects, which involve different grad students, at the same time. Aditya Pakki could be working on a different project with Kangjie Lu, and not be involved with the problematic paper.
