Haibin Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Haibin received his
Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis (with
Prof.
Matt Franklin).
Previously, he worked as a postdoc for two NSF frontier projects on cloud security --
the MACS project (with Prof.
