Coby Wang
Staff Research Scientist
 
I am a research scientist at Visa Research. My research interests are in authentication, web security, applied cryptography, and distributed system security. I am particularly intrigued by the intersections of these domains.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UNC at Chapel Hill in 2021, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Mike Reiter. Immediately following my graduation from UNC, I worked as a research associate at Duke University before joining Visa Research in 2022.
