On Campus (Full Time) Position Details (PhD Research Project)
DistriNet is a leading research group at KU Leuven. Our research focuses on distributed software systems and secure software engineering, covering topics such as IoT systems, cloud applications, enterprise software, and data systems. We aim to develop adaptable, high-quality, and trustworthy software systems.
IDEAS is the Distrinet applied research unit at Group-T on intelligent and distributed e-application security. IDEAS’ research envisions secure and agile development platforms and methodologies that integrate machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) analytics into software engineering processes and artifacts. It also focuses on incorporating usable security concepts and security middleware designed for application developers. This research is being tested and validated across several innovative system architectures, including cloud applications with multi-tenant web APIs, microservice architectures, and decentralized web platforms such as Solid, Web3, and progressive web apps (PWAs).
