Biography

Biography

Chin Ji Jian graduated from Campbell University with a Bachelor of Science Majoring in Computer Science and Computational Mathematics, earning a rank of Magna Cum Laude. Pursuing his postgraduate studies, he took his Master of Engineering Science and later on his P.h.D. at Multimedia University, specializing in cryptography. He earned an early completion for his doctoral studies as well as a Best Thesis Award in I.T. for his thesis.

A passionate teacher, Ji Jian has surpassed a decade of teaching experience. From the humble beginnings of an IGCSE home tutor during college, his last position was as an associate professor at the Faculty of Computing and Informatics, Multimedia University, before embarking on a life-changing adventure to move to the University of Plymouth. As a Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Plymouth, Ji Jian continues to guide and share his knowledge the eager young minds of tomorrow.

In his research, Ji Jian has spent more than a decade researching theoretical public key cryptography, specializing in entity and message authentication schemes such as identification and digital signature schemes, with particular interest in designing schemes that do not require certificates.

As such, he has an international publication portfolio consisting of over 50 peer-reviewed proceedings and journals. He has given several invited talks at University Putra Malaysia, Kyushu University and Institute of Systems, Technology and Nanotechnology in Japan. He served as programme committee and peer reviewer for several conferences such as Cryptology conference series in Malaysia and ProvSec, WISA and Asiacrypt conferences. He also served as organizing committee for ProvSec 2010, CANS2010 and MyCrypt 2016.

Eager to bridge the gap between theoretical cryptography and practical computer security, Ji Jian currently focuses his research interests on development and implementation projects such as searchable symmetric encryption and access-control prototypes using mobile devices. Not willing to be conformed to the theoretical aspects of security, he recently earned his CISSP in 2019, and concurrently won a trip to Seoul by acing the TOPCIT South Korean Government ICT exam, earning a Band 3 as well as top scorer for Malaysia for the 2nd exam batch. More recently he received additional certifications from EC Council's Certified Ethical Hacker, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner as well as COMPTIA CySA+ professional certificates. He also holds 140 Coursera Certificates as well as Top 5 in TryHackMe's leaderboard rank in Malaysia, and is currently holding first place.

An eSports hobbyist, Ji Jian once held an Archon 2 rank (~2300 MMR) on Defense of the Ancients, season 2. He plays on occasion with his colleagues and students, usually taking on the role of support/tank which often entails sacrificing a high K/D/A ratio to support his team in winning the match. His favourite hero pick is the Underlord.
