Welcome to Haoran Wang’s Website

My name is Haoran Wang, and I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Professor Wenke Lee. I conduct research on the security of cyber-physical systems, with a focus on using machine learning and program analysis techniques to address real-world security challenges.

Prior to my Ph.D., I earned dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer and Information Science and in Data Analytics from The Ohio State University in 2019, where I conducted biostatistics research under the guidance of Professor Laura Kubatko. I later earned a Master of Science in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, where I also worked with Professor Wenke Lee on security research.
