This blog highlights the contributions made by a group of faculty, researchers, and doctoral students working on Networked Systems aspects. For open positions, please consult our Projects.

Massimo Girondi’s Licentiate Defense

We are happy to announce that Massimo Girondi successfully defended his licentiate thesis (licentiate is a degree at KTH half-way to a PhD)! Marco Chiesa  has done an excellent job as a co-advisor and as is customary we are very grateful to Prof. Gerald Q. Maguire Jr. for his key insights. Giuseppe Siracusano was a superb opponent at the licentiate seminar, with Amir Payberah as the examiner. Massimo’s thesis is available online:

“Toward Highly-efficient GPU-centric Networking”

A few shots from the celebration are below.

KTH Ceremony on November 17, 2023

We were once again at the ceremony at which KTH is officially awarding doctoral degrees. This time it was Alireza Farshin’s time, and we used the beautiful Stockholm City Hall to recreate our favorite hallway shot!

SEMLA: New Vinnova-funded project on LLMs for cybersecurity

Our “SEMLA: Securing Enterprises via Machine-Learning-based Automation” project proposal has been selected for funding by Vinnova. The project cost is 12MSEK with Prof. Marco Chiesa as the PI. Other project partners include members from the Computer Security group from KTH,  the Connected Intelligence unit at RISE, RedHat, and Saab. 

The SEMLA project seeks to make the development of software systems more resilient, secure, and cost-effective. SEMLA leverages recent advancements in machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to automate critical yet common & time-consuming tasks in software development that often lead to catastrophic security vulnerabilities.
