Qi Pang


I'm a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Wenting Zheng and Prof. Virginia Smith.

I obtained my MPhil degree in Computer Science & Engineering from HKUST in 2022 and bachelor degree in Electronic Information Engineering from Zhejiang University in 2020. I was a member of ACEE, Chu Kochen College.

My research focuses on system security and data privacy.
