Short Biography

Professor Yi Mu received his Bachelor in Physics from Fuzhou University in 1982 and his PhD from the Australian National University in 1994. He is currently a professor in the College of Mathematics and Informatics at Fujian Normal University, China. Before joining Fujian Normal University in 2018, he was a professor in the School of Computing and Information Technology and the co-director of Centre for Computer and Information Security Research, University of Wollongong, Australia. He was the Head of School of Computer Science and Software Engineering, University of Wollongong, during 2011 and 2015, before the school had its new name: School of Computing and Information Technology, in 2015. Prior to joining University of Wollongong in 2003, he was a senior lecturer in the Department of Computing, Macquarie University. He also worked in Department of Computing and IT, University of Western Sydney as a lecturer. His current research interest includes cryptography, network security and computer security. He also previously worked in the areas of quantum cryptography, quantum computers, atomic computations and quantum optics.

Professor Mu has published over 500 peer-reviewed papers including many seminal works in quantum cryptography and cryptography. He has published in top-quality journals, including IEEE Transactions and many papers at top-tier cryptography and security conferences such as CRYPTO, EURCRYPT, ASIACRYPT, ACACS, PKC, FSE, CT-RSA, and ESORICS. Professor Mu was Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Applied Cryptography and serves as associate editor or guest editor for several reputable international Journals. He has served in program committees for a number of international security conferences, including ACM CCS, ACM AisaCCS, ESORICS, etc. Professor Mu has also served in steering committees of AsiaCCS, CANS and ProvSec. He is a senior member of the IEEE.
