I’m Alan Wang, a Senior/Masters student studying computer science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I’m currently pursuing a conjoined bachelor/master (BSMS) degree with a anticipated graduation date of 2025. At UIUC I do computer security research with Profesor Chris Fletcher where my main focus is side channel attacks and defenses (hardware and software). Outside of research, I was the swim coordinator for the Fighting Illini Triathlon (FIT), an intramural soccer + volleyball player, and occasional chess enjoyer.
This past summer (‘24) I was working as a software developer intern at Jane Street where I worked on systems critical to supporting the trading effort. In the summer of ‘23 I was a computer science intern at D.E. Shaw Research doing research on docking and writing embedded code that ran on the Anton3 ASIC!
