The Cyber Security Lab in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at University of South Carolina is recruiting students. The research of our lab is focused on designing and building more secure computer systems, such as servers, mobile computing platforms, and smart environments. We also work on security issues of machine learning and apply machine learning to resolving security problems.
The PhD students will be fully funded with competitive assistantship.
Requirements for students: excellent coding skills and passion in research; GPA >= 3.2/4 (or top 20% in the class); Toefl >= 80 (or IELTS >= 6.5); GRE Q>=165 V>=150 (we can slightly lower the requirements on GRE and GPA if you are distinguished in other aspects).

研究:南卡大学属于卡内基分类中的R1大学, 其CS排名在全美排第77 (checked on Dec 3. 2018)。 注意csrankings由于其客观性,现在越来越被广泛认可。我们组(Dr. Qiang Zeng and Dr. Lannan Luo's group)的研究都是学科最前沿的问题,非常有利于学生发高水平的论文。学生从PhD第一学期就有属于自己的project,而不是做工程性的coding或者给其他学生打下手,我们组的学生因此成长迅速。我们有学生仅仅一年就发表了一篇top-tier conference paper, 还有学生第一学期就已经开始投稿高质量的会议。我们把比较多的精力和指导投入到学生身上,因材施教帮助学生找到合适的问题,大量的时间和学生一起讨论解决方案,甚至一起debug。
