Ph.D. (Nanyang Technological University)

B.S. (Shanghai University)

Dr. Yue Zheng obtained her Ph.D. degree from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in 2020, and her B.Eng degree from Shanghai University in 2015. She was a Visiting Scholar with Kyoto University in 2019. From 2020 to 2023, Dr. Zheng was a Research Fellow of School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at NTU. Her research interests cover hardware security and Artificial Intelligence (AI) security, including hardware security primitives, lightweight end-to-end security for smart systems, and the security of AI and AI for security.

Dr. Zheng was a recipient of the NTU Women in Engineering, Science, and Technology conference grant award in 2021. She is a member of the VLSI Systems and Applications Technical Committee. Dr. Zheng is currently serving as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs (TCAS-II), and served or is serving as TPC, Track/Session chair, PhD Forum Chair of a variety of IEEE International Conferences.
