We are a security research group in the NS unit, CNS division, at the Computer Science and Engineering department (joint between Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg). We also connect with researchers across units through the Chalmers Security & Privacy Lab.
We focus on attacks and defenses in networked systems, with emphasis on Internet routing, blockchain peer-to-peer networks, and distributed infrastructure. The lab is led by Dr. Muoi Tran. For recent updates, see our activity report (2025).
This week, we are incredibly happy to welcome Weijia and Shahrooz to Chalmers University of Technology.
Weijia completed her master’s thesis on federated learning security at the University of Manchester, and Shahrooz joins us after his PhD at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and research tenure at Cisco.
They will be working on exciting research challenges at the intersection of network security and AI. Looking forward to the collaboration ahead as we build the next chapter together!
Today, Shubham begins his PhD journey in our lab, working on network security for AI. Shubham recently earned his master’s degree at Chalmers, where he wrote his thesis with AI Sweden and published work on decentralized federated learning. We are thrilled to welcome him — this time as a PhD student!
The holidays offer a welcome chance to slow down, reflect, and be thankful for the year behind us. Inspired by a great tradition from by many groups (e.g., NSG), our lab is launching an annual snapshot of our activities, starting this year. Check out our activity report (2025) for highlights from our research, teaching, and more. Twenty twenty-six, here we come! 🚀
Our lab welcomes Ilias as the very first PhD student! Before working with us, Ilias earned his Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Democritus University of Thrace and worked as a software engineer at CERN. His research will be at the intersection of network security and applied machine learning. Welcome!
We are now looking for strongly motivated candidates to join our lab as a postdoc! This postdoc is expected to work specifically on securing the network infrastructures of AI training. That said, no extensive networking or security background is required! The position is a temporary full-time employment for two years with the possibility of a one-year extension. The application deadline is 31 October, 2025.
