Wenjing Lou Northern Virginia CenterAssociate Professor
|
Wenjing Lou received her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Florida. She joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute as an assistant professor in 2003, where she was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 2009. In 2011, she joined the Computer Science department at Virginia Tech as an associate professor with tenure. Her current research interests are in the area of cyber security, with emphases on wireless network security, security and privacy in cloud computing and cyber physical systems. She is also interested in network protocols.
She is currently serving on the editorial board of five journals: IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, IEEE Wireless Communications Letter, Elsevier Computer Networks, and Springer Wireless Networks. She has served as TPC co-chair for the security symposium of several leading IEEE conferences, including General Symposium at IEEE Globecom 2007, Network Security and Privacy Track at IEEE ICCCN 2009, Security Symposium at IEEE ICC 2010, Security and Localization Track at IEEE PIMRC 2011, and Security Symposium at IEEE Globecom 2012. She serves as TPC member regularly for many premier IEEE and ACM conferences.
She was named Joseph Samuel Satin Distinguished fellow in 2006 by WPI. She was a recipient of the U.S. National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award in 2008. She received the Sigma Xi Junior Faculty Research Award at WPI in 2009.
Complex Networks and Security Research (CNSR)URL: http://www.cnsr.ictas.vt.edu The Complex Networks and Security Research (CNSR) Laboratory at Virginia Tech was founded in 2011 by Profs. Tom Hou and Wenjing Lou. It was merged from the former Complex Network Systems Lab in the ECE department and the former Cyber Security Lab in the CS department. The mission of the new CNSR@VT lab is to conduct basic and applied research in a broad range of topics in networking, wireless, and cyber security. We explore novel concepts and ideas related to protocols and systems of the future pervasive cyber infrastructure, and design scalable architecture and trustworthy protocols for the next generation networks.
