     The TSYS School's Lixin Wang published in Tsinghua Science and Technology, another A-level journal outlet, back in 2022. His colleague, Jianhua Yang, accomplished the same feat in the same year. These researchers were ranked in 2023 among the five researchers in the area of stepping-stone intrusion according to research by computer scientists in the School of Information Technology at Universiti Utara Malaysia.
