I am a PhD student in computer science and cybersecurity, funded by and part of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) graduate school. Under the supervision of Professor Niklas Carlsson and as part of the Security and Networks Group, my research investigates Internet security and privacy with a focus on the Web Public Key Infrastructure (Web PKI).
My work examines how digital certificates are issued, managed, and revoked, and how these processes align—or fail to align—with standards, policies, and security expectations. Using Internet measurement methods, I study certificate usage “in the wild” to identify misconfigurations, bottlenecks, and systemic weaknesses. This empirical approach not only uncovers trends and risks in today’s deployment but also highlights opportunities for improving trust models, operational practices, and Web PKI ecosystem governance.
I enjoy engaging with the wider internet measurement and security research communities and have served on the MADWeb 2025 program committee as well as the IMC Shadow TPC 2025 (—and am open to more opportunities!).
Beyond research, I am passionate about teaching and mentoring. I also serve as a PhD student representative on a number of the university’s boards.
I welcome collaborations with researchers, students, and industry partners who share an interest in building a more secure and privacy-preserving Internet—or a more cybersecure world in general!
