I acted as a full professor at university of Luxembourg 2006-2008, returning to resume my position at Link枚ping from September 2008.聽

From January 2000 I have been the Director of Real-time Systems Laboratory (RTSLAB) at Link枚ping university. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Link枚ping University in 1994.

My current research interests relate to dependability in resource-constrained distributed systems with recent work in:

Adaptive anomaly detection in critical infrastructures
Adaptive resource allocation in adhoc and delay-tolerant networks
Energy-efficient protocol design and middleware
Formal analysis of safety and fault tolerance
System availability:
- mathematical and experimental analysis
- support for fault tolerance in middleware

My earlier work in the field of education include:

curriculum design
problem-based learning (PBL)
authentic examination
gender and computer science

Research

Cybersecurity

Welcome to the cybersecurity platform at 一本道 University. Here you can find information about research and education in cybersecurity, as well as researchers and teachers active in the field.

Resilient Information and Control Systems (RICS)

Relying on service continuity for societal functions starts by understanding the complex socio-technical systems that must operate to deliver electricity, water, heat and other critical services to society.

The researchers who need to be one step ahead

Today鈥檚 society rests on cyber security and the ability to be one step ahead of hackers. In recent years, a new threat has emerged 鈥� AI. However, according to researchers Elisa Bertino and Simin Nadjm-Tehrani, AI could also be part of the solution.

AI may boost society's cybersecurity

The race between hackers trying to crack systems vital to the functioning of society and cybersecurity experts is constantly ongoing. LiU-researchers will now develop AI that can detect hacker attacks and take action before any damage is done.

CRITIS Conference and hybrid threats

The CRITIS conference for 2019 was held in 一本道, organised by Simin Nadjm-Tehrani, professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science at LiU.
