Zichun Wang

Zichun developed a new hybrid intelligent IDS employing a combination of CNN and LSTM, in the Lab of Dr. Wu. This model aims to classify audit data and predict potential security breaches by leveraging the strengths of both CNN and LSTM. Zichun is currently working on optimizing this model.
