Yidan Hu Ph.D. Candidate in Department of Computer and Information Sciences University of Delaware Newark, DE 19716 Email: yidanhu@udel.edu Office: Smith Hall 204

I will join the Department of Computing Security at RIT as a tenure-track assistant professor this Fall!

RA Positions Available! I am looking for highly self-motivated Ph.D. students to conduct research on wireless network security, data privacy, and AI security. If you are interested, please see here for detailed information.

I am a fifth year Ph.D. candidate in the department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Delaware under the supervision of Prof. Rui Zhang. I expect to pass my dissertation defense on April and graduate this semester. I received the B.E. degree and M.E. degree both in Computer Science from Hangzhou Dianzi University in 2013 and 2016, respectively.

My primary research interests are security and privacy in networked and distributed systems, wireless networking, and mobile computing.
