Research vacancies

I have an operning for a postdoc to work on the concept of "path transparency". More details in this blog and in this work-in-progress paper.

Courses: Advanced Networking and IoT Security

I coordinate and teach two M.Sc. courses at the University of Twente (UT): Security Services for the IoT (SSI) and Advanced Networking (ANET), both of which are collaborations with SIDN Labs. SSI is also part of the 4TU cybersecurity Master program.

ANET is a 1st quartile course (September through November), whereas SSI is part of the UT's 4th quartile teaching program (April through June).

If you're a student and intereseted in SSI or ANET, then please make sure to browse a few of the courses' papers before you sign up to verify that the course matches your interests, study plan, prerequisites, etc. You can sign up through the UT's course management system, OSIRIS. Hope to see you in class!

The ANET teaching team consists of Pieter-Tjerk de Boer (UT), Geert Heijenk (UT), Roland van Rijswijk-Deij (UT and NLnet Labs), and myself. The SSI teaching team conists of Elmer Lastdrager (SIDN Labs), Ramin Yazdani (UT), Etienne Khan (UT), and me.

If you have any questions, then drop me an email at c.e.w.hesselman@utwente.nl.

Ph.D. Candidates

I (co-)mentor the following Ph.D. candidates:

• Ebrima Jaw (UT), on the classification of routing hijacks, with dr. Moritz Mueller and prof.dr. Bart Nieuwenhuis, funded by TUCCR
• Shyam Krishna Khadka (UT), on transparency of the routing infrastructure, with prof.dr. Ralph Holz, funded by NWO
• Leonardo Boldrini (UvA), on user control in future Internet infrastructures, advised by Dr. Paolo Grosso (UPIN project, co-funded by NWO)
• Leandro Bertholdo (UT), on planning anycast for anti-DDoS, with Prof.dr. Roland van Rijswijk-Deij (PAADDoS project, co-funded by NWO and DHS)

I previously co-supervised Moritz Mueller (SIDN Labs and UT) with Prof.dr. Roland van Rijswijk-Deij. Moritz received his Ph.D. cum laude for his thesis "Making DNSSEC Future Proof".

M.Sc. Projects

I also mentor M.Sc. students, although unfortunatly I can only handle one at a time. I currently advise Charalampos Theodorou, who's working on inter-domain path validation.

In the past, I (co-)advised these students:

• M. Kellaway, "Accelerating the SCION IP Gateway using Programmable Data Planes", M.Sc. thesis, University of Twente, September 2022 [PDF]
• M. Jevring, "Automatic Management of Bluetooth Networks for Indoor Localization", M.Sc. thesis, University of Twente, August 2008 [PDF]
• M. Kamilova, "Policy-based Handoffs across Intermediary Multimedia Content Providers in the Wireless Internet", P.D.Eng thesis, University of Twente, October 2004 [PDF]
• C. Yu, "End-to-end Distribution of Multimedia Streams in a Mobile Internet Environment", M.Sc. thesis, University of Twente, July 2002
