Biography
Current version:
Zonghua Zhang is now working as an Expert at Paris Research Center, Huawei Technologies France, where he leads a team dedicated to building autonomous driving networks. Before diving into the industry, Zonghua has spent more than 15 years in academia at different institutions (IMT and INRIA in France, NICT and JAIST in Japan, University of Waterloo in Canada). He holds a Ph.D. degree (JAIST) in information science, and an HDR diploma (UPMC, France) in computer science. Zonghua has been actively working at the intersection of networking, security, and machine learning, and has contributed to more than a dozen national and international research projects. The topics mainly covered anomaly detection, root cause analysis, network forensics, trust management, and autonomic Cyberdefense. He has (co-) authored more than 80 research articles, most of which appeared at well-recognized international journals and conferences. He is the recipient of JSPS overseas long-term invitational fellowship (2018) and several best paper awards. He has served as general chair or program chair for tens of international conferences and been serving on the editorial board of four international journals such as Computers & Security. He is an IEEE senior member.

Long version: Dr. Zonghua Zhang is currently a Full Professor of Institut Mines-Télécom of France, teaching computer network and security at IMT Lille Douai and doing research at CNRS UMR 5157 SAMOVAR lab. Previously, he worked as an expert researcher at the Information Security Research Center of National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Japan from April, 2008 to April, 2010. Even earlier, he spent two years for post-doc research at the University of Waterloo, Canada and INRIA, France after earning his Ph.D. degree in information science from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) in 2006. Zonghua also holds a M.Sc. degree in computer science and a B.Sc. degree in information science from Xidian University, China, as well as a HDR (accreditation for research supervision) diploma on Computer Science from Univ. of Paris 6 (UPMC), France. His research interests cover a wide spectrum of network security topics, including anomaly detection, security management, reputation systems and security protocols, in different types of computer and communication networks, with the current focus on Software-Defined Networking, Network Functions Virtualization, and Cyber-Physical Systems. He has either led or contributed to several national research projects sponsored by ANR (France), COE (Japan), NSFC (China), as well as some international collaboration projects (e.g., EU-Japan NECOMA, NICT nano fund, ) and industry projects. Zonghua actively participates in the organization of international conferences by serving different roles, such as program chair, workshop chair, general chair, publicity chair and TPC members. He is on the editorial board of Computers & Security, IEEE Communications Magazine, Security and Communications Network, and International Journal of Network Security. So far he has authored or co-authored nearly 60 research articles in his research domain.
