Summary
Haohuang Wen is a security-focused research engineer and Co-Founder with a PhD in Computer Science from Ohio State University and nine years of experience spanning academia and industry. He specializes in mobile and cellular network security, building modular security services for the Open RAN (O-RAN) ecosystem and leading the SE-RAN effort in partnership with SRI International under the NSF 5G convergence accelerator. His work blends program analysis and reverse engineering to find vulnerabilities in mobile apps, firmware, and embedded IoT/automotive systems, and he spent three consecutive summers as a research intern at SRI honing practical 5G defenses. Equally comfortable in research and product contexts, he recently transitioned from a postdoc to co-founding SE-RAN.ai to operationalize his O-RAN security innovations. A detail that often surprises collaborators: he pairs principled algorithm design with hands-on binary analysis to turn theoretical insights into deployable network protections.
