🐣 about-me

Hi, I’m Zhiao Wei. I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering degree in Cybersecurity from Sichuan University on June 20, 2023. During my undergraduate studies, I was actively involved in research, which sparked my passion for security and systems work.

Currently, I’m pursuing a Master of Mathematics (MMath) in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, where I’m fortunate to be working under the supervision of Professor Yousra Aafer. I’m truly grateful for her mentorship and guidance—it has been invaluable to my growth as a researcher and builder! 😊

Research Interests

I am currently immersed in research focusing on the convergence of security and privacy within the realm of IoT and mobile devices. My exploration delves into the potential repercussions of vulnerabilities present in various smart devices, illustrating how they can significantly compromise real-life privacy. This encompasses an array of concerns, such as weak authentication mechanisms and inadvertent privacy breaches, spanning from smart homes and healthcare devices to wireless routers.

In the long term, my research aspirations center around the consistent enhancement of privacy-conscious security measures for both IoT and mobile devices. I maintain a strong conviction that the amalgamation of smart devices and research emphasizing privacy can wield a substantial and lasting impact.

Now, my research interests are mainly but not limited in these areas:

  1. Security and privacy for smartphone users: Developing security and privacy technologies that allow smartphone users to use mobile apps in a secure and privacy-protecting way.
  2. Security and privacy for smart device users: How can we construct security and privacy technologies to effectively prevent the leakage of users’ private data?
  3. Unauthorized Access: How can we prevent unauthorized access in a multi-device environment, ensuring each user adheres to their access privileges?
