About
I am an Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity at Linköping University, Sweden, and a researcher passionate about building secure, trustworthy, and resilient digital systems for the future.
My research spans applied cryptography, post-quantum security, aviation cybersecurity, AI-assisted cybersecurity, cyber resilience, secure communications, critical infrastructure protection, and IoT/industrial systems security. I enjoy translating research into practical solutions that address real-world security challenges while supporting the transition towards trustworthy and sustainable digital infrastructures.
Beyond research, I actively contribute to the cybersecurity community through IEEE leadership, international research collaborations, conference organisation, editorial and peer-review activities, and the supervision of students and early-career researchers. I strongly believe in interdisciplinary collaboration, international partnerships, and knowledge sharing to create meaningful societal impact.
I am always interested in collaborating on research, education, innovation, and technology transfer in cybersecurity and emerging digital technologies.
