Principle Investigator
Run Wang
I am a tenured associate professor at School of Cyber Science and Engineering (SCSE) in Wuhan University (WHU). I obtained my Ph.D. (2015-2018) in Information Security at Wuhan University advised by Prof. Lina Wang. Prior to joining WHU, I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow (2019-2021) under the supervision of Prof. LIU Yang in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. My research interests are at the intersection of security, privacy, and AI. I am honored to have received several awards, including the innovative talent awards from the China National Postdoctoral Program, Hubei Province, and Wuhan city. In the early stages of my career, I have had the privilege of mentoring talented students, leading to recognition as an excellent supervisor in various national competitions such as the China College Students “Internet+” Innovation, National College Student Information Security Contest, and the China Post-Graduate Cyber Security Innovation Contest.
