Zhiyi Zhang

    I am a fourth year Ph.D. candidate of CS department at UCLA, under the supervision of Prof. Lixia Zhang. I am a doctoral researcher in the Internet Research Laboratory (IRL). My main research interests fall into "/system/security", including security and privacy enhancement in network system, distributed system, and data engineering. Especially, I am now an active research on Named Data Networking (NDN). My ongoing research projects are smart home IoT system with localized and designed-in security, Privacy-preserving Single SignOn protocol, Reliable Leaker Identification in Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Sharing, and Graph-based Permissioned Distributed Ledger.
    My previous work done in security includes Name-based Access Control over NDN, NDN Certificate Management and DDoS Defense over NDN. I am also contributing to the development of the core NDN softwares, including NDN Forwarding Daemon (NFD) and ndn-cxx library.
    I received my Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering from Nankai University, China, in 2016. While pursuing my bachelor degree, I was an undergraduate student research member in the Data and Knowledge Engineering Laboratory of Nankai University.
