Biography

I received my PhD degree from Deakin University, Melbourne, in October 2014. Now, I am working full-time as an Associate Professor in Swinburne University of Technology. I managed several research projects in the last few years. Since early 2015, I have received over seven million Australia Dollars’ funding from both academia and industries, including three ARC Linkage Projects, two Discovery projects, CSRIO-Defence Joint Projects as well as many industry-initiated research projects. I am the leading CI for many of the projects. I am now the Director of Blockchain Innovation Lab and the Deputy Director of Swinburne Cybersecurity Lab in Swinburne University. I am also leading a medium-sized research team with co-/supervised PhD students in the system security area. In addition, I have published over 100 high-quality papers, including top conference papers such as papers in IEEE S&P, ACM CCS, USENIX Sec, NDSS, ICSE, FSE and WWW, as well as many papers in IEEE/ACM transactions series journals. Some of these papers are with high impact factors or become highly cited papers. All these achievements demonstrate that I am a leading researcher in the cybersecurity domain in Australia. Due to my outstanding performance, I was invited to SBS Audio to talk about cybersecurity as an area expert. I was also invited to Australia Parliament as a young scientist to talk with senators about cybersecurity research development.
