PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Trustworthy and Resilient Automotive Cybersecurity
Modern vehicles rely on large distributed software systems and complex communication infrastructures. When incidents occur in such systems, understanding what happened can be difficult because current vehicle platforms are not designed to provide clear system evidence, and available data may be incomplete or difficult to interpret. This is further challenged by evolving and more dynamic attacks, while existing security mechanisms are often relatively static. At the same time, increasing regulatory requirements highlight the need for improved approaches, where security becomes an important enabler.
This doctoral project studies system mechanisms that support security monitoring and Automotive Digital Forensics (ADF) in automotive systems. The research focuses on methods for collecting and analysing system data in complex vehicle platforms while respecting constraints related to safety, system resources, and performance.

About Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden –Official Website
Chalmers University of Technology is a Swedish university located in Gothenburg that focuses on research and education in technology, natural sciences, architecture, mathematics, maritime and other management areas.
The university was founded in 1829 following a donation by William Chalmers, a director of the Swedish East India Company. He donated part of his fortune for the establishment of an “industrial school”. Chalmers was run as a private institution until 1937, when the institute became a state-owned university. In 1994, the school was incorporated as an aktiebolag under the control of the Swedish Government, the faculty and the Student Union. Chalmers is one of only three universities in Sweden which are named after a person, the other two being Karolinska Institutet and Linnaeus University.
