Zhen Zeng joined UWM’s Computer Science Department in March as an assistant professor. Her primary research focuses on AI-based solutions for securing the network and cloud environment. She also is interested in cloud networking, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity and computer science education.
“Professor Zeng’s work is of critical importance – both for research and for what students must understand to be effective in the workforce,” said Susan McRoy, professor and chair of UWM’s Department of Computer Science. “Cloud computing creates fantastic opportunities for everyone to benefit from complex data-driven software, but also huge risks to those who upload proprietary resources.”
Zeng has worked in the high-tech industry for years. She recently earned a PhD in computer science from Arizona State University.
