Brief Biography

Yanyan Yang received the B.S. degree in computer science from Beijing University of Technology, China in 1997 and the First Class Honors degree in Information Technology (Distributed System) from Griffith University, Australia in 1998. From February 1999 to September 2000, she worked at RSA Security, Australia as a software engineer, which led her to an advanced research area, Network Security.

 

From June 2001 to present, she has been working with her academic advisor Professor Felix Wu with research studies specializing in IPsec/VPN security policy management/assurance.

 

She received her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the University of California, Davis in 2002 and 2006, respectively. Her Ph.D. dissertation was titled "IPsec/VPN Security Policy Engineering: Automatic Generation and Conflict Detection".

 

She is currently with Proofpoint, a leading provider of enterprise-class messaging security solutions.
