Chenglong Fu
I am a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Software and Information Systems at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer and Information Sciences at Temple University from 2016 to 2022, under the supervision of Prof. Xiaojiang Du. Prior to that, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Information Security from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) from 2011 to 2015.
CESAR at UNC Charlotte: I am a founding member of the Center for Excellence in Secure and Resilient Systems, which brings together computing, engineering, and data‑science researchers to advance secure and resilient systems across critical infrastructure, cyber‑physical platforms, and AI‑enabled services. The center coordinates multi‑investigator research, education, and collaboration with industry and government.
Smart Home IoT Lab: I co‑direct this campus living‑lab and multi‑vendor testbed for IoT and home‑automation security. We evaluate device/automation behavior, study adversarial conditions, and develop deployable protections; the lab supports measurement studies, user‑in‑the‑loop experiments, and release of artifacts and datasets.
