University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) CS PhD 全奖项目

组里师兄毕业去University of Maryland Baltimore County当教职了，代他发一条招生广告帖。师兄人很nice，相关信息如下：

The CSEE department of UMBC is seeking at least 4 fully supported PhD to work on security, cryptography (e.g., ORAM), distributed systems, cloud computing (OpenStack), permissioned blockchains (BFT), food safety, software defined networking, IoT, and high-performance computing. The candidates are expected to have a strong programming ability and a strong desire to work with real systems.

Your host will be Dr. Haibin Zhang (https://www.csee.umbc.edu/~hbzhang/)

Contact: hbzhang (at) umbc.edu

Please send your CV and a cover letter.

Please note the Fall 2018 application deadline is Jan 1. Please let me know if you could not make

the deadline.

UMBC is ranked 70 in CS according to US News, and places 7th in a new ranking of "Most Innovative" national universities. At CSEE, we have 6 HPC, have access to the well-known D-Wave 2X quantum, and we have the NSF CHMPR center which has more than 30 industry and government partners (e.g., IBM,Northrop Grumman, Lexis Nexis, Dwave Systems Inc, Seagate, Collab Med Tech, GE, Morgan Stanley, NIST/ ISL, NSA/Lab for Phys. Sci., NSA/Central Sec. Services, NASA/GSFC, DHS).

同时也欢迎国家公派留学人员(研究生和老师)。学校周边机会真的非常多: 靠近NIST, NSF, NSA, FDA, NIH, NASA等政府机构, 和很多IT企业（比如洛克希德马丁）。学校出门还有research park, BWtech等众多科技公司。

关于生活。学校地处环境不错，非常安全的巴尔的摩郊区。靠近DC, 周围的Columbia和Ellicott City长期被视为全美排名第一适合居住的中小型城市。周围的JH系统是全美最好的医疗系统。

关于Prof. Haibin Zhang. 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. Marten van Dijk, a project among BU, MIT, NEU, and UConn) and the Project Silver (with Prof. Michael Reiter, a project among UNC, Duke, Cornell, Wisconsin, and CMU). He is interested in cloud computing, cryptography, security, privacy, and distributed systems. He received the best paper candidate award at the 33rd IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems and proved the security of a NIST standard on ciphertext stealing. Haibin is one of the main inventors of Norton Zone, Symantec’s scalable cloud storage, and BChain, a highly efficient BFT protocol fully implemented within Hyperledger blockchain framework.
