About Zhibo (Eric) Sun

My research investigates real-world security and privacy problems at the intersection of adversaries, computing systems, and people. I study cybercrime and threat intelligence; human perception, judgment, and behavior in security and privacy; and how AI reshapes attacks, defenses, security analysis, and learning.

My work combines large-scale measurement, technical analysis, adversarial experimentation, and empirical user studies to characterize threats and to design and evaluate defenses, interventions, and evidence-based approaches to security education and training.
