Per Hurtig is the most recent docent at the Department of Computer Science. His research is about making communication on the internet faster and more efficient.
- The number of connected units has increased tremendously in recent years, which in turn has sharpened the quality requirements considerably鈥, says Per Hurtig. 鈥淏oth applications and users now depend on higher quality in terms of faster connection and less delays.
Setting up firewalls correctly is a challenging task which becomes more difficult the bigger a network grows. Artem Voronkov, who recently completed a Degree of Doctor in Computer Science, has focused his work on how to help system administrators to better manage firewalls.
Most companies have access to the Internet and their corporate networks connected to it. Many threats to computer systems, e.g.
Users make heavy demands on cloud-based services such as Dropbox, Spotify, and Netflix. With the existing technologies, however, users experience notable service disruption, especially when they move. Kyoomars Alizadeh Noghani, who recently completed his Ph.D.
During her years as a researcher and data protection commissioner, the German computer scientist Marit Hansen has been a pioneer for the concept of privacy enhancing technologies (PET).
In June 2019, the excellence initiative in which the Service Research Centre (CTF) and Computer Science took part since 2014, came to an end. The initiative has allowed the research groups to grow and develop in order to continue producing world-class research. This is evident in the final reports from the groups.

As Internet use has increased in society, risks related to privacy online have also become more important. Researchers have developed new technologies to protect the privacy of users, but many people are unaware or choose not to use them.
You have probably noticed that an online video clip playing on your mobile phone is interrupted when you leave your house and the Wifi network. The mobile phone connects to 4G, and the video clip resumes. One advantage of multipath networks, which will be common in the future, is that your mobile phone will switch between different networks without you noticing it.
New applications such as autonomous cars, robot surgery, and the next generation automation and manufacturing technologies demand ever more flexibility and capacity in computer networks.
Programmable networks can be developed in many different aspects, for instance when it comes to better performance, increased control of the network, and improved security.
鈥淚鈥檓 very pleased and honoured,鈥 says Simone Fischer-H眉bner, professor of computer science at 果冻传媒. 鈥淧rivacy and cyber security play an increasingly important role in society, so this honorary distinction is especially significant.
Javid Taheri, a professor of Computer Science at 果冻传媒, has received the 鈥淎ward for Excellence鈥 by the IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC). He was presented with this award for his contributions on cloud computing and use of artificial intelligence to optimise highly distributed cloud-based scalable systems.
鈥淚鈥檓 very happy to receive this award.
When the Swedish Defence University and The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) arranged the contest Cyber Challenge on Thursday, 6 February, 14 teams of university students vied to prove that they could act as the best experts on national security.
The anonymity network Tor, used daily by millions of users around the world, is important for people in vulnerable situations, for instance in order to avoid surveillance or control. Two 果冻传媒 researchers have now identified flaws in Tor鈥檚 anonymity function and contributed to technologies that make the network safer for users.
The purpose of Tor is to allow users to surf the internet anonymously without information about visited webpages being registered.
Simon Sundberg, previously a student in the Computer Engineering Master programme, established contact with the HITS* company Icomera through the course Performance Modelling and Simulation during year four.
Cristian Hernandez Benet, doctoral student in Computer Science at 果冻传媒, has been awarded the prize Best Paper Award at the IEEE CloudNet conference, a large international conference focused on cloud networks in Coimbra, Portugal, that took place 4-6 November.
鈥淭he most prominent cloud network researchers in the world gather for this conference, so Cristian has received this prize in keen competition.
Researchers at 果冻传媒 have studied how apps鈥 access to our personal data has changed since the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was introduced in May 2018.
Cybersecurity concerns you, your work and your research - it is becoming increasingly important, and a sustainable society without cybersecurity does not exist. This was the main message when researcher and expert Fredrik Blix, Stockholm University and Cybercom, gave an open guest lecture at 果冻传媒.
On October 25, CTF, Service Research Center at 果冻传媒, organized an open guest lecture with the researcher and cybersecurity expert Fredrik Blix.
On 9-11 October the yearly competition, European Cyber Security Challenge, was held and 20 teams of young cyber security talents from 20 European countries solved security-related problems. Simone Fischer-H眉bner, professor of computer science at 果冻传媒 was a member of the jury.
鈥淭here is a great need of more people working with IT related security problems,鈥 says Simone Fischer-H眉bner.
The launch of the 5G network is approaching and the expectations are great. Both individuals and businesses are looking forward to higher speed, minimal delays, and the possibility of handling a greater number of connected devices simultaneously. But how do we make optimal use of the potential offered by 5G technology?
Three scholarly articles written by researchers in Computer Science at 果冻传媒 have been accepted to IEEE CloudNet, a large international conference on cloud networks in Coimbra, Portugal.
鈥淚t is unusual that a research group has three articles included in a conference at this level,鈥漵ays Andreas Kassler, Professor of Computer Science.
