He works as the head of the Data-centered and Secure Computing (DSComputing) at the University of Stavanger (UiS) and as Chief Scientist (adjunct) at NORCE Norwegian Research Centre. He is also co-founder and CEO of two start-ups bitUnitor (previous bitYoga) and Dataunitor in Norway, both received EU Seal of Excellence Award in 2018. Prof. Rong is the chair of IEEE CS STC on Blockchain and is active in the IEEE Future Directions, where he served as a co-chair of IEEE Blockchain in 2018, as the chair of IEEE Cloud Computing 2017-2020, and as the founder and Steering Chair of IEEE CloudCom conference and workshop series. Furthermore, he was the vice president of CSA Norway Chapter (2016-2017). He is co-Editors-in-Chief of the journal “Blockchain: Research and Applications” by Elsevier, Editors-in-Chief of the Journal of Cloud Computing (ISSN: 2192-113X) by Springer, and has served as the steering chair (2016-2019), and associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing (TCC) since 2016. Prof. Rong has extensive experience in managing large-scale R&D projects, both in Norway and EU. He has extensive contact network and projects in both the industry and academic. His research work focuses on cloud computing, cyber security, blockchain, with three granted EU/USA patents. He is a co-founder of the open-source initiative of Open Infrastructure-as-code (OpenIaC.org), fostering innovations on tokenized assets, providing important framework in projects such as the Norwegian Smart Energy Neighborhood (SmartNEM), the National Centre for Sustainable Subsurface Utilization of the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS2030) for Carbon and Hydrogen Storage, the EU ArtiConf.eu building tools for decentralized applications (e.g. ESG reporting), the TradeRES.eu developing and testing an innovative electricity market design that can meet society’s needs in a near fully renewable power system.
