About

Yibo Wei

I am a PhD student at the University of California San Diego (UCSD), with broad interests in IoT, automotive, and cybersecurity research. I am interested in understanding real-world security problems and developing practical ways to address them.

My interests are broad and evolving across systems, security, and computing. My work so far includes IoT, automotive systems, cybersecurity, and studies of online scams, but I am not limited to these areas.
