Dr. Zhaohong Wang’s teaching spans embedded systems, cryptographic applications in computing systems, and computer networks. His research interests lie at the intersection of information forensics and security within embedded systems and computer architecture.

Financial Support and Recruitment

Currently, I am guiding projects focused on secure CPU and distributed computing. I am actively seeking self-motivated students to join my team. Successful candidates will receive financial support for their study and work.

If you are a senior undergraduate or a master’s student in the track of project or thesis with a strong interest in CPU architecture and its security, as well as a passion for computer systems and a willingness to take on challenges, I encourage you to email me your CV/resume and unofficial transcripts. I would love to schedule a discussion about your qualifications and eligibility.

We are offering a unique scholarship for a research fellowship focused on CPU information security, both hardware and software. The skills you gain through this fellowship will enhance your application portfolio for future job prospects in the field.

CPU Architecture for Secure Computation

Participating in this project will equip you with essential skills in cryptography, computer architecture, and networking – capabilities that are highly sought after by employers in the tech industry. This opportunity will not only strengthen your job applications through solid preparation but also pave the way to prestigious graduate schools.

Privacy-Preserving Joint Computation

Working on this project will provide you with exposure to advanced topics in distributed computing. The foundational elements of this project include Linux socket programming (as covered in EECE 446) and cryptographic protocols.
