I am happy to be part of the NSU faculty that helps our students learn the key knowledge in the field through effective research and education.” Wei Li has been an active researcher in the areas of information security and computer science for more than a decade. He is an active member in academia, belonging to various associations including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Association for Computer Machinery (ACM), and Upsilon Pi Epsilon. His research interests include intrusion prevention and detection, attack modeling and simulation, network security, information assurance, security engineering, applied cryptography, and artificial intelligence. Prior to joining NSU, he was involved in several research projects, such as cluster security, and attack modeling, while with the Center for Computer Security Research at Mississippi State University. “Information security is not a stand-alone area. To understand the technical challenges, students should have a solid foundation in at least several key areas, such as computer networks, statistics, artificial intelligence, cryptography, and security engineering, among others. I am striving to help our students learn the knowledge, synthesize it, and apply it to safeguard information systems.”
