Ulrik Franke

I am a senior lecturer at the Swedish Defence University as well as a docent at the KTH School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Center for Cyber Defense and Information Security. From 2023 to 2025 I was also an adjunct professor at KTH. Before joining the Swedish Defence University I was a senior researcher at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and before that I was a senior scientist at the Swedish Defence Research Agency, FOI. I have also been a guest researcher at insurer Länsförsäkringar, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Finansinspektionen), and Istituto per le Applicazioni del calcolo 'Mauro Picone' in Naples.

My research interests include algorithmic transparency, cyber situational awareness, security economics, and enterprise architecture.

I am an associate editor of the journals Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISAJ) and Philosophy & Technology.
