Feng Hao is a Professor of Security Engineering and Head of the Systems & Security research theme at the Department of Computer Science, University of Warwick. He holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge, supervised by Ross Anderson and John Daugman. His research focuses on real-world security problems, including cryptographic protocols, electronic voting systems, and IoT security. He has contributed to standards like ISO/IEC 11770-4 and RFC 8236 (J-PAKE), and his work has been recognized with grants such as the ERC Starting Grant (2012) and the ERC Proof of Concept Grant (2015). Education: PhD in Security Group (Computer Laboratory), University of Cambridge. Research interests include designing secure protocols for e-voting, password authentication, and privacy-preserving systems. Notable contributions include DRE-i, DRE-ip, and J-PAKE protocols. Professional service includes roles as a journal editor (IEEE Security & Privacy, Journal of Information Security and Applications), standards committee member (ISO/IEC), and grant reviewer (EPSRC, EU). Teaching includes advanced computer security and cryptography courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Awards and grants highlight his impactful work: top Google Scholar paper in Computer Security & Cryptography (2017), 3rd place in Economist Cybersecurity Challenge (2016), and significant ERC funding. His research team has conducted trials in e-voting systems, such as the Gateshead local elections (2019), demonstrating real-world application of his protocols.
