Zhuoqing Morley Mao (Chinese: 茅斫青) is a computer scientist whose research concerns computer networks, network security, mobile computing, and distributed systems. She is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan.[1]
Education and career
Mao was both an undergraduate and a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, where she completed her Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science in 2003.[2] Her doctoral dissertation, Solving the Interdomain Routing Problem-Understanding Interdomain Routing Dynamics, was supervised by Randy Katz.[3]
She joined the University of Michigan faculty in 2004, and as an assistant professor in 2008 was named Morris Wellman Faculty Development Professor.[2][4]
Research
Mao is one of the namesakes of the ZMW attack, a method for bringing down the internet via a distributed denial of service attack on its routing systems.[5] She has also found performance degradation caused by network security software,[6] discovered defects in the sandbox used to keep Android apps secure from each other,[7] and developed techniques by which self-driving vehicles can be tricked into failing to observe obstacles.[8]
Recognition
Mao was the 2016–2017 recipient of the George J. Huebner Jr. Research Excellence Award of the University of Michigan College of Engineering.[9]
She was named as an IEEE Fellow in 2022, "for contributions to performance and security of internet routing and mobile systems".[4] She was named as an ACM Fellow, in the 2023 class of fellows, "for contributions to internet security and performance".[10]
