Welcome to my web page!

I'm an associate professor in computer science at Linköping University. My research interests are connected to cyber-physical security, dependability and distributed systems. I am also responsible for the Master's program in Information Technology and have a strong interest in moving computer science education into the 21st century.

Research projects

Student project ideas

Doing a Master’s thesis on a research topic allows you to try new ideas, challenge your creativity and to get a taste of what research is all about. If things go well, you might also get the change to present your work at some international conference or workshop.

Below are some ideas for thesis work. If you are interested in one of these or have some ideas of your own, don't hesitate to write me an email or drop by my office. You can also look at the list of completed theses where I have been supervisor or examiner.

  • Ethical hacking learning framework
    • Description (click to expand)

    The purpose of this project is to investigate and develop new interesting frameworks for learning ethical hacking. Performing and defending against attack in realistic settings are important skills for cybersecurity professionals. LiU will give such a course as part of a new Master's programme in cybersecurity during 2024 with the ambition of extending beyond other existing courses in terms of the range of threats as well as the defensive mechanisms. This master thesis project will investigate such new learning situations and evaluate how they can be tought in a controlled, ethical and innovative way. The aim is not do develop course material as such, but rather to think outside the box when it comes to cybersecurity education. Examples of subjects that are important, but often difficult to include in regular courses, include social engineering attacks, incident response, and cybersecurity of large and complex systems. The thesis project will start with a literature review and overview of existing courses and platforms and then select a few interesting areas to explore further. Prototypes learning environments should be developed and evaluated. The project can be done by one or two master students.

  • Software dependency discovery
    • Description (click to expand)

    The purpose of this project is to develop a mechanism and a tool to detect, analyze and visualize software dependencies to enable improved security management. Today, many organizations run software both in-house and hosted in a cloud environment without really having a clear idea of how they are exposed to external threats. Only when new high-impact vulnerabilities are discovered do they start investigating whether this is also present in their running systems. This master thesis project will develop a better way to analyze how different programs and libraries depend on other programs and libraries. There are tools available for open source projects (e.g., see Googles page on dependency management), but how to create such dependency graphs for special-purpose (often proprietary) software is still not sufficiently explored. The work is part of the Vinnova-funded project Sustainable Energy with Adaptive Security where these problems are investigated in collboration with industrial parthers working with next generation cloud-based energy systems. The project can be done by one or two master students.

  • Reconfigurable software interfaces for improved cybersecurity
    • Description (click to expand)

    The purpose of this master thesis is to design, implement and evaluate security-aware interfaces for reconfigurable services in next generation software systems. The work is part of a new research project funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research called Adaptive Software for the Heterogeneous Edge-Cloud Continuum. In this part of the project, the idea is to explore interface specifications that allows dynamic reconfigurations with security requirements in mind. Examples of such security properties can be related to sensitive information that cannot be moved arbitrarily, requirements on authenticity of data and services, and availability requirements (i.e., avoiding single-points of failure). By stating such requirements in the interface specification, an orchestrating service can account for such requirements when reconfiguring due to changes in demand or component failures. The first part of the project will be to investigate existing frameworks for interface specifications and evaluate how well they support security requirements. Next, a prototype will be created that extends the current state-of-the-art and finally, the proposed approach will be evaluated using realistic use-cases from the industrial stakeholders involved in the project. The project can be done by one or two master students.
