Short Biography

Chen Wang is currently an Associate Professor at School of Electronic Information and Communications, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), P. R. China. He received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Department of Automation, Wuhan University (WHU), P. R. China, in 2008 and 2013, respectively. From 2013 to 2017, he was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Networked and Communication Systems Research Lab, HUST, working with Prof. Hongbo Jiang. His research interests are in the broad areas of wireless networking, Internet of Things, and mobile computing, with a recent focus on adversarial patterns and countermeasures in machine learning algorithms, as well as privacy enhancing technology in wireless/mobile systems.

Openings. I am looking for highly self-motivated Ph.D./M.S./undergraduate students who are strongly committed to cutting-edge research on machine learning and data privacy. Solid background in programming or mathematics is a big plus. If you are interested, feel free to drop me an email at dr.chen.wang@ieee.org.
