About Me

Hi! My name is Weihang Tan 👨‍💻. I am was a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, under the supervision of Dr. Keshab K. Parhi. I received my B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Clemson University, Clemson, SC, USA, in 2018, 2020, and 2022, respectively, where I worked under the guidance of Dr. Yingjie Lao (Dr. Lao currently serves as an Associate Professor at Tufts University).

My research interests include hardware security and VLSI architecture design for fully homomorphic encryption, post-quantum cryptography, and digital signal processing systems. I have authored and co-authored over ten research papers, which have been published or accepted in prestigious conferences and journals, including IEEE TIFS, IEEE TC, IEEE TCAS-I, IEEE TCAS-II, DAC’23, ICCAD’23, etc. I co-authored three US patents, all of which are currently in review and filing stages. Furthermore, I serve as a reviewer for major journals and conferences, such as IEEE TCAS-I, IEEE TVLSI, ISCAS, etc.
