Biography
Dr. Chow joined the Department of Information Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in November 2012 and received the Early Career Award 2013/14 from the Hong Kong Research Grants Council. He was a research fellow at the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization, University of Waterloo, a position he commenced after receiving his Ph.D. degree from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. During his study, he interned at NTT Research and Development (Tokyo), Microsoft Research (Redmond), and Fuji Xerox Palo Alto Laboratory.
His main interests are in Cryptography, Security, and Privacy, with publications in AsiaCrypt, CCS, EuroCrypt, ITCS, NDSS, S&P, and Usenix Security. He served on the program committee of AsiaCrypt in a consecutive of six years, the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (TIFS) for four years, and the award committee of The Caspar Bowden Award for Outstanding Research in Privacy Enhancing Technologies in 2019.
He also served as a program co-chair of CANS, ISC, and ProvSec, and on the program committee of 200+ other conferences including CCS, CRYPTO, CT-RSA, Financial Crypt., ICDCS, Infocom, PETS, PKC, TheWeb, and Usenix Security. He is now an editorial board member of IET Information Security, Intl. J. of Information Security (IJIS), J. of Information Security and Applications (JISA), and SpringerBriefs on Cyber Security Systems and Networks.
He is a European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) Fellow (2019, inaugural), and named as one of the 100 Most Influential Scholars (Security and Privacy, 2018) by ArnetMiner (AMiner).
