Can Liu (刘灿)
I am a Machine Learning Scientist at VISA Research. I hold a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Rutgers University since November 2019. Prior to joining VISA, I was a member of the Rutgers Human-Computer Interaction and Security Engineering Laboratory under Prof. Janne Lindqvist. My research focuses on design, development, and evaluate more secure and usable authentication systems. I also have wide research interests on applying the latest machine learning techniques to understand people’s behaviors and improve people’s experience of using technologies. I regularly publish papers in premier venues (e.g. CHI, UbiComp, NDSS, Usenix Security) and serve as a reviewer in multiple premier conferences and journals.
