Dr. Wenliang (Kevin) Du is the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professor of Teaching Excellence at Syracuse University. He has taught courses in cybersecurity at both undergraduate and graduate levels since 2001. As a firm believer of "learning by doing", he promotes experiential learning in cybersecurity education. To provide students with hands-on experiences, funded by multiple grants from National Science Foundation and over a period of 17 years, he has developed over 30 labs (called SEED labs).
These labs are now being used by over 1000 universities, colleges, and high schools in 65 countries. In 2010, the SEED project was highlighted by the National Science Foundation in a report sent to the Congress. Due to his contribution in cybersecurity education, he received the "2017 Academic Leadership" award from the 21st Colloquium for Information System Security Education.
