 FBI突袭搜索印第安纳大学华裔教授王晓峰住宅

编者按:本文2025年3月25日由世界新闻网发布。本站转发此文供读者参考。印第安纳大学网站王晓峰的网页已被删除,但在网页档案链接还能看到被删除的页面(点击这里查看该页面)。根据这个页面的信息,Xiaofeng Wang(音译,王晓峰)2004年到该校任教,是该校信息学院的副院长,截至2022年,他参与的项目收到何种资助2300万美元。谷歌学者页面显示,从2004年起,他的学术文献被引用近2万次。本站将继续跟踪王晓峰案件的发展。印第安纳大学学生日报的英文报道附在本文之后。

联邦调查局(FBI)28日搜查了印第安纳大学(IU)华裔教授王晓峰(Xiaofeng Wang),以及在印大图书馆担任分析师的王晓峰妻子马念丽(Ninali Ma)位于印州布卢明顿(Bloomington)和卡梅尔(Carmel)的住所。该机构拒绝透露搜查行动的性质。

与该宗行动相关的印大资讯、电脑及工程的卢迪学院(Luddy School)教授王晓峰是否仍在职,印第安纳大学发言人未予证实,校方告诉“印第安纳学生日报”(IDS)去向FBI查询。根据IU今年秋季研究生独立研究课程安排中,目前仍列有王晓风的名字。

BI发言人巴文德(Chris Bavender)透过简讯表示,“FBI于28日在布卢明顿Xavier Court的住所,执行了法院授权的执法行动,此行动与卡梅尔住所的调查相关,目前无可奉告。”

根据蒙洛郡(Monroe County)与汉密尔顿郡(Hamilton County)的房产纪录,两处住所均登记在王晓峰与马念丽名下。马年丽现任IU图书馆首席系统分析师兼程序员,其职务资讯仍列于官网。

当地“先驱时报”(Herald Times)引述同住在布卢明顿 Xavier Court邻居说法指出,探员28日在现场停留近一整天,国土安全部人员亦在场。邻居们说,这对夫妇独来独往,没有人知道他们的名字,也很少看到他们,一位王晓峰的邻居说,她在这里住了20年,从来没有跟这对夫妇说过话。

邻居表示,探员28日一早就到布卢明顿的两层楼住宅搜索,一些邻居聚集在附近交换信息,但都没有人知道这对已在该址居住20年的华裔夫妇状况

王晓峰在卢迪学院的官方网页简介已被撤下,但存档页面显示其曾任研究副院长。

此外,在IU杰出教授的简介中提到,从2004年以来,王是该校分散式机密运算中心(Center for Distributed Confidential Computing)的共同主任,该中心是由美国国家科学基金会(NSF)资助的专案,简介提到,“他被视为最杰出的系统安全与隐私研究人员之一。”

网页资讯显示,王晓峰监督的研究专案金额总计超过2000万元,其研究领域聚焦系统安全与数据隐私,专攻移动云端计算及人类基因组数据的相关安全议题。

根据多个X帐号推文透露,王晓峰今年3月初就被印大悄悄开除,并指此次行动或与美国对中国科技渗透的全面清算有关,但上述说法均未证实。

由于川普首次任期时,曾推出“中国行动计划”(China Initiative),导致多位华裔学术人员莫名遭捕、控罪,批评者指“中国行动计划”与“猎巫行动”无异,损害了许多学者和科学家的职业和生活,王晓峰事件是否意味将出现新一波威胁,引发高度关注。

FBI searches two homes belonging to IU Luddy professor and library analyst

Indiana Daily Student

March 29, 2025

The FBI searched homes in Bloomington and Carmel belonging to an IU professor and an IU Libraries analyst Friday. The agency declined to comment on the nature of the search. 

An IU spokesperson did not say whether the professor, Xiaofeng Wang at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering professor, was still employed at the university — and referred the Indiana Daily Student to the FBI for information. However, Wang does show up on IU’s scheduler for the Fall 2025 semester for graduate independent study.  

“The FBI conducted court authorized law enforcement activity at the home on Xavier Court in Bloomington Friday,” FBI spokesperson Chris Bavender said over a text message. “It was related to the FBI activity at the home in Carmel. We have no further comment at this time.” 

Both homes are listed on Monroe County and Hamilton County property records as belonging to Wang and Nianli Ma. Ma is a lead systems analyst and programmer at IU Libraries, according to its website.  

Neighbors told The Herald Times that agents at the scene were there for much of the day Friday. The Department of Homeland Security was present.  

Wang’s profile on Luddy’s Department of Computer Science website is no longer available. However, an archived version of the webpage described him as an associate dean for research. According to the archived page, Wang had served on projects totaling nearly $23 million by 2022. He joined the university in 2004.  

He’s also still listed as a director of IU’s center for Security and Privacy in Informatics, Computing, and Engineering on the organization’s webpage. According to the website, his research focuses on system security and data privacy, specializing on security issues relating to mobile and cloud computing, and human genomic data.
