Wei Wei

Wei Wei is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Illinois. Their research focuses on cybersecurity, insurance risk modeling for power systems, and dependence structures in financial systems. Key research interests include cyber attack mitigation strategies, cyber insurance frameworks, and resilience engineering for smart grid infrastructure. Wei has contributed significantly to understanding risk-sharing mechanisms and optimizing hedging strategies against cyber threats in critical infrastructure sectors.

Recent work explores the intersection of extreme value theory with cyber risk management, developing innovative catastrophe bond designs for power systems. Collaborative efforts involve interdisciplinary teams addressing both theoretical and applied aspects of cyber-physical systems security.

Publications span topics ranging from stochastic risk modeling to practical insurance solutions for emerging technologies. No academic awards or grants are explicitly stated in the provided materials. Advising records remain unspecified, though active research involvement in power systems and cybersecurity suggests potential mentorship roles in relevant graduate programs.
