Become comfortable reading and comprehending academic papers.

Follow academic conferences, maybe given your interests IEEE S&P, CCS, etc.

Don't expect too much supervision which means the onus is on you to get direction, update on progress, get help when you're stuck, etc.

I've actually followed few research papers from those conferences you mentioned, and that was why I wanted to actually research/publish something.

I am hoping now to get some mentoring or advice from my university, I've been asking around and I will see what comes from that effort.
