I am Wen Wang, a final-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Yale University, working with Prof. Jakub Szefer. I am interested in post-quantum cryptography and hardware security. My research focuses on designing secure, flexible and efficient hardware/software architectures for different families of post-quantum cryptography targeting new-generation heterogeneous computing platforms.

I am a 4th year PhD student at UNC Chapel Hill, dabbling in hardware security research. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Cynthia Sturton.

I am broadly interested in all aspects of hardware security. The goals of my research are to help hardware designers efficiently build more secure processors that can withstand a wide range of attack programs in the field, as well as to provide interesting insights about hardware vulnerabilities to the community.

I completed my BS in Microelectronics from Peking University, and my MS in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University.

I joined the faculty at the Colorado School of Mines in January 2022 and serve as Department Head of Computer Science. Before joining Mines, I was on the faculty at Brown University for 26 years and held dual appointments as Professor of Engineering and Professor of Computer Science. My research interests focus on energy-efficient and reliable computing, from the system level to device level. Most recently this includes the design of robotics systems.
