Ren-Wei Chang is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the Research Center for Democratic, Society and Emerging Technology (DSET) and a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Sociology, National Tsing Hua University. His research focuses on building digital resilience and shaping telecommunications security policies amidst geopolitical conflicts. By comparing the network architecture experiences of Taiwan and Ukraine, he designs wargames and tabletop exercises to translate these insights into tailored resilience solutions that align with Taiwan’s localized conditions and energy supply constraints.
He has been a featured speaker at several prominent events, including the “2026 Taiwan Internet Week” (TWIGF) hosted by the Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC), the “Digital Resilience Forum” organized by the Cyborg Resilience Lab, and the Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) “Building All-Out Cyber Resilience” tabletop exercise. His presentations primarily focus on redundancy mechanisms and drills for communication resilience architectures. Beyond critical infrastructure, he tracks trends in state-sponsored cyberattacks and investigates the emerging tactics and countermeasures that generative AI introduces to cybersecurity offense and defense.
