Hiring! We have raised sufficient funding, and we are looking for a talented Software Engineer and a Data Engineer!
I am expected to graduate in December 2024.
I am Zhilin Wang, currently in my final year as a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, Indiana, USA. I’m also affiliated with CERIAS at Purdue. I obtained my bachelor’s degree at Nanchang University in June 2020 and commenced my doctoral journey at Purdue in January 2021. I am co-advised by Prof. Qin Hu and Prof. Snehasis Mukhopadhyay. I’ve actively contributed as a reviewer for prestigious academic journals and conferences such as IEEE TPDS, IEEE IoTJ, Elsevier JNCA, IEEE TCCN, and IEEE ICC. Additionally, I was a member of the Technical Program Committee (TPC) for the IEEE ICC’22 Workshop. My research interests are briefly described below:
In general, my research focuses on the system design, network optimization, and security protection of AI systems. If you are interested in my research, please directly email me.
Co-founder and CTO, OpenJobs, San Francisco, USA, 04/2024-present.
