Short Biography

I am currently an Associate Professor at School of Electronic Information and Communications (EIC), Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), P. R. China. I obtained my B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Department of Automation, Wuhan University (WHU), P. R. China, in 2008 and 2013, respectively. From Jun. 2013 to Jan. 2018, I was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at School of EIC, HUST, working with Prof. Hongbo Jiang. I am broadly interested in Internet of Things, computational intelligence, data mining, and mobile computing, with a recent focus on three major research fronts:

Adversarial patterns and countermeasures in machine learning.
Privacy enhancing technologies in wireless/mobile systems.
Big data analytics in the context of spatio-temporal data, social network data, etc.

Openings. I am looking for highly self-motivated Ph.D./M.S./undergraduate students who are strongly committed to cutting-edge research on federated machine learning & 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.
