Po-wei Harn

I am currently an assistant professor at the computer science and information engineering department from National Central University, Taoyuan City, Taiwan. I received my Ph.D. degree in 2024 from the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, Auburn University, Auburn, AL, USA. My B.S. degree is in mathematics and my M.S. degree is in computer science. I received them both from National Central University in 2013 and 2015. I joined the Institute for Information Industry, Taipei, Taiwan, where I served as an Engineer from 2015 to 2018. My research interest is Genetic Programming of Evolutionary Computation, Graph Neural Network of Machine Learning, and Searchable Encryption of Cybersecurity.
