Biography

Zhuowei is a RSDE at Microsoft, working for our cut-edged cloud computing infrastructure Windows Azure.

 

From September 2005 to February 2008, he was a postdoctoral research associate at Indiana University, Bloomington with Dr. XiaoFeng Wang. He got his Ph.D from Nanyang Technological University with Dr. Amitabha Das, while he was also supervised by Dr. Jianying Zhou at Institute of Infocomm ResearchBefore that, he received his M.S. from Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China at 2001.

 

He is now working on enterprise-wise product security, malware defense and intrusion detection.
