Doctoral student in Network Security

This PhD project covers a broad range of research topics in network security, with priority given to candidates interested in the network-layer security challenges of distributed systems like blockchain. Although the project is not limited to such distributed ledger technologies, applicants aiming to explore how decentralized applications and emerging Web3 infrastructures introduce new and often unexplored attack surfaces are especially encouraged. Potential research directions include uncovering novel network-based threats, analyzing protocol-level vulnerabilities, and developing effective defenses to strengthen the security and resilience of next-generation systems.
