Computer security and privacy Arizona State University in United States

I am excited to join the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence at ASU as an assistant professor. The past month has been amazing, and I’m incredibly grateful for the warm welcome from my ASU colleagues. My research will focus on, but not be limited to, cryptography-based secure computation and verification. I am interested in building cryptographic tools to enhance privacy protection in databases, networking, and machine learning, as well as in finance and healthcare services. I look forward to collaborating on any computer security- and privacy-related projects.I am actively looking for PhD students starting Fall 2025. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested!…more Issues related to data breaches can be found headlining media feeds each day. With expertise in applied cryptography, Chenkai Weng will join the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, training the next generation of students in privacy-enhancing technologies. I can't wait to see how Chenkai will expand Arizona State University's strength in security, and I'm excited to see him continue pursuing use-inspired research in privacy-enhancing techniques to solve data security problems for finance, healthcare, e-commerce and more.Welcome Chenkai!…more
