Biography

Dr. Huang is an associate professor of School of Cyber Science and Engineering at Zhengzhou University (ZZU). He received his Ph.D. degree in School of Electronic Information and Communications from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2021, supervised by Prof. Wei Wang. His research is concerned with network security and wireless sensing. His papers have appeared in several premier journals and top conferences, such as IEEE/ACM TON and IEEE INFOCOM.

Research

Dr. Huang's research interests are security, sensing as well as their intersection in the context of Internet-of-Things (IoT), which increasingly bonds Physical World, Cyberspace as well as Human Society together.
He leads a research group, namely PHY Group, aiming at exploring novel model-driven and data-driven technologies for Pervasive sensing, smart Healthcare, and perimeterless securitY. Thus, the main goals of PHY Group lie in three different yet interconnected domains:

  • Pervasive sensing for intelligent machines that demand high-level environmental understanding
  • Smart healthcare for aging people who need unobtrusive day-to-day health monitoring at home
  • Perimeterless security for distributed Cyberspaces where predefined encryption trust fails

Currently, PHY group focuses on the following directions:

  • Radio Frequency Fingerprint Identification
  • Network Traffic Analysis
  • mmWave-Based Human Behavior Sensing

主要研究方向：普适感知、智慧医疗和零信任安全。
当前研究课题：

  • 无线射频指纹识别
  • 网络流量分析
  • 基于毫米波的人体行为感知

Hiring

Dr. Huang is looking for new graduate students (M.S. students) and undergraduate interns to work on exciting research projects!

  • Candidates are expected to be highly motivated and resilient against pressure. Also, they should have a solid background in computer science, electrical engineering, or mathematics.
  • Graduate students will have access to research related software and hardware resources. Attendance to international academic conferences is highly encouraged and fully sponsored. Twice the monthly stipend stipulated by ZZU is provided per month.
  • Top-notch undergraduate students with rich system implementation experience and/or strong mathematical skills are preferred.
