PhD student position in Network Security for AI

Deadline: 15 May 2025 (CET)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has gradually become a cornerstone of modern life. Its success depends on immense computational effort and extended training times to produce sophisticated models. To handle the scale of these models, distributed AI training has emerged as the standard approach, which utilizes thousands of high-performance devices within a data center to collaboratively process tasks. While network threats are well-studied in existing literature, their impacts on distributed AI training, unfortunately, remain largely unexplored.
This PhD project envisions Bifröst, secure networks built for distributed AI training.

This PhD position is fully funded by WASP for 4 years.
