Secura Lab is a research group in the Network and Systems (NS) unit within the Computer and Network Systems (CnS) division at the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) department. We are affiliated to Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg. We also have an organic connection with other security researchers via the Chalmers Security & Privacy Lab.
Secura Lab is led by Assistant Professor, Dr. Muoi Tran. We aim to enhance the security of computer systems, particularly those that are networked. Our security research has been focusing on Internet routing, blockchain peer-to-peer networks, and network infrastructures.

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 distributed 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! 🚀
We’re again recruiting a PhD student to work on network-layer security challenges, preferably in blockchain and Web3 systems. The selected candidate must be able to start before 1 September 2026.
The application deadline is 28 February, 2026.
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!
