Dr. Jianbing Ni is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Queen's University, Canada, and the Tier-2 Canada Research Chair in Intelligent System Security and Privacy. He received the PhD degree in Electrical and Computing Engineering at the University of Waterloo under the supervision of Prof. Sherman Shen and Prof. Xiaodong Lin,  in 2018. His research interests include mobile network security, trustworthy artificial intelligence, cloud/edge computing security, and blockchain technology. He has published over 120 papers in IEEE Transactions and highly selected conferences. He has received 9 best paper awards from international conferences, including IEEE Communications Society's flagship conferences (IEEE GLOBECOM and IEEE ICC) and security conference (SECURECOMM). He also received the Best Paper Award for IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing in 2022, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Early Career Award in 2022, the IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing Award for Excellence in Scalable Computing (Early Career Researchers) in 2023, the IEEE ComSoc Communications & Information Security Technical Committee (CISTC) 2024 Early Career Award.

Dr. Ni has demonstrated his leadership through engagement in prominent positions in major international conferences, including Symposium Chair for IEEE ICC 2024, Track Chair for IEEE CCECE 2024, ICNC 2024, PST 2024, PST 2025, General Chair for FCS 2023, and Program Vice-chair for CSE 2022. He is serving as an associate editor for 3 prestigious journals, including IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (TIFS) and IEEE Systems Journal. In addition, Dr. Ni is serving as the co-chair of the IEEE Blockchain Canada Chapter in IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society.

Positions are available for postdocs, PhD, and Masters, in areas in security, privacy, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. If you are interested in applying for a position, please contact me (jianbing.ni@queensu.ca)
