Haibin received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis (with Prof. Matt Franklin)， his M.S. from Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his B.S. from Shandong University. Previously, he worked as a postdoc for two NSF frontier projects on cloud security --- the MACS project (with Prof. Marten van Dijk) and the Project Silver (with Prof. Michael Reiter). He is interested in cloud computing, cryptography, security, privacy, and distributed systems. He received the best paper candidate award at the 33rd IEEE International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems and proved the security of a NIST standard on ciphertext stealing. Haibin is one of the main inventors of Norton Zone, Symantec’s scalable cloud storage, and BChain, a highly efficient BFT protocol fully implemented within Hyperledger blockchain framework.
