Qingzhao Zhang
Incoming Assistant Professor at University of Arizona

Email: qzzhang [at] umich.edu


I am joining the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at University of Arizona as a tenure-track assistant professor in Fall 2025. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Z. Morley Mao.

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.

I currently have openings for PhD students for Fall 2026 and research interns who are welcome to start at any time. Please refer to the one-page flyer for details.
