Haodong Wang

Haodong Wang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Cleveland State University, where he maintains his office in FH 219. He previously served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Math and Computer Science at Virginia State University before joining Cleveland State.

Wang received his educational foundation through a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, followed by a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Penn State University, culminating in a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the College of William and Mary in August 2009.

His research primarily focuses on wireless and mobile computing security, with particular expertise in cryptographic implementations for resource-constrained sensor networks. Wang's WM-ECC project represents one of the most efficient publicly available ECC implementations for wireless sensor motes, adopted by numerous institutions including USC, UCLA, and Siemens Research Corporation. His work bridges theoretical security concepts with practical implementations for pervasive computing environments.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a progression from foundational wireless sensor network security work toward broader applications in cloud computing, virtualization, and web security, while maintaining his core expertise in wireless communications. His research consistently demonstrates a practical engineering approach to solving real-world security and performance challenges.

Wang has served on technical program committees for major conferences including GLOBECOM 2014 and ICCCN 2014, reflecting his standing in the networking research community.

He teaches a comprehensive range of courses at Cleveland State University from foundational programming and data structures to advanced topics in information security, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, demonstrating both breadth and depth in computer science education.
