My current research interests lie in the intersection of security and privacy and data science. In particular, I'm interested in:
• Information and system security
• IoT/CPS and hardware-enabled security
• Privacy, online social networks
We are looking for self-motivated students who are interested in academic research on information security. If you are interested in this opportunity or if you have questions, please drop me an email: bluo <at> ku <dot> edu.
I am the PI of Jayhawk SFS -- CyberCorps: Scholarship for Service program at KU. For more information about the program, please visit Jayhawk SFS program homepage.
I am the director of the Information Assurance Lab (IAL) at ITTC. ITTC is a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE/CD) and Research (CAE-R) designated by the National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security.
KU has hosted The 3rd KanSec: Greater Kansas Area Security Workshop, and The 6th Central Area Networking and Security Workshop.
