PhD:

we have 1 opening 4-year position for information security; candidate should reach English requirement (otherwise language courses will apply).

  • R. Wang received his MSc degree at the cybersecurity group, University of Southampton, United Kingdom. He is currently a PhD student with his works published in high-tier international journals and conferences, e.g., IEEE Transactions on AI, IEEE Transactions on Big Data, IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, ACML, HPCC, ACSAC. His research focuses on privacy-preserving machine learning.
  • H. Chen is a Ph.D. candidate in the Cybersecurity group at the Delft University of Technology. Before that, he received the MSc degree in Mathematics from Nankai University, and was an exchange student @ Paris Saclay University, France. His research is on lattice-based cryptographic systems and has delivered publications in renowned international security conferences, e.g., ESORICS, Asiacrypt, IEEE CSF.
  • Y. Qiao is a PhD student and focuses on federated learning attacks and countermeasures. His research works have been published in ACML, etc.
  • D. Liu is a PhD student and focuses on federated learning attacks and countermeasures. One of his research works has been published in GECCO with best paper award.
