I am Chaowei Xiao, an assistant professor in the School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering at Arizona State University and also a research scientist at NVIDIA Research.
My research interests lie at the intersection of computer security, privacy, and machine learning, with the goal to build the soically responsible machine learning systems.
I obtained my PhD degree from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor under supervision of Peter and Evelyn Fuss Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering Prof. Mingyan Liu . I obtained my bachelor's degree in School of Software from Tsinghua University in 2015, advised by Professor Yunhao Liu. I was also a visiting student at UC Berkeley in 2018, advised by Professor Dawn Song.
My group has multiple positions for PhD student, Summer interns and Visiting students. If you are interested, please send me an email with your CV, and publications (if any).
