Simin Nadjm-Tehrani

Professor, Head of Unit

From January 2000 I have been the Director of Real-time Systems Laboratory (RTSLAB) at Linköping university. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Linköping University in 1994.

I acted as a full professor at university of Luxembourg 2006-2008, returning to resume my position at Linköping from September 2008. 

From January 2000 I have been the Director of Real-time Systems Laboratory (RTSLAB) at Linköping university. I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from Linköping University in 1994.
My current research interests relate to dependability in resource-constrained distributed systems with recent work in:

  • Adaptive anomaly detection in critical infrastructures
  • Adaptive resource allocation in adhoc and delay-tolerant networks
  • Energy-efficient protocol design and middleware
  • Formal analysis of safety and fault tolerance
  • System availability:
    • mathematical and experimental analysis
    • support for fault tolerance in middleware
My earlier work in the field of education include:
  • curriculum design
  • problem-based learning (PBL)
  • authentic examination
  • gender and computer science
Details of my recent activities and publications can be found on the RTSLAB web pages
