Qingzhao Zhang
Ph.D. student at University of Michigan

I am a final-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where I am advised by Prof. Z. Morley Mao. I was software engineer intern at Google in 2022 summer and 2023 summer, worked on static analysis framework and formal verification of OS kernel.

I am broadly interested in computer security. My research lies at the intersection of system security, artificial intelligence, and cyber-physical systems (CPS). I develop techniques to secure AI components and networked software systems in real-world, safety-critical applications such as connected and autonomous vehicles. You can find my CV and Research Statement here.

Starting in Fall 2025, I will join the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at University of Arizona as a tenure-track assistant professor. I currently have multiple openings for PhD students and interns in 2025-2026. If you're interested, feel free to reach out via email! For more details, please refer to the one-page flyer.
