معرفی
Xiaoxue Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, commencing her tenure-track position in July 2024 after completing her Ph.D. at the University of California Santa Cruz. She holds a Bachelor of Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China (2019).
Her educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, University of California Santa Cruz (2024)
- Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China (2019)
Dr. Zhang's research focuses on securing and optimizing next-generation distributed systems, with core expertise in blockchain architectures, quantum network routing, and IoT security protocols. Her work bridges theoretical models with practical implementations, particularly in payment channel networks and entanglement routing frameworks.
Analysis of her 14 publications (2018-2024) reveals an evolving research trajectory: early work on backscatter communication (2018-2019) transitioned to blockchain payment networks (2020-2023), culminating in recent breakthroughs in quantum networking and federated learning (2024). This progression demonstrates consistent innovation across computer networks, security, and emerging quantum technologies.
Dr. Zhang is actively recruiting Ph.D. students for her research group, requiring applicants to submit CVs, academic transcripts, and relevant publications. Prospective students must demonstrate strong motivation in networks and security research, with emphasis on practical implementation skills.
