Utz Roedig

Utz Roedig is a Full Professor of Computer Science at University College Cork (UCC), Ireland, and a Principal Investigator at the CONNECT Centre. Previously, he served as Professor at Lancaster University, UK, leading the Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACE-CSR), and held research positions at UCC and Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany.

Education:

• Dipl.-Ing in Engineering from Darmstadt University of Technology
• Dr.-Ing (Doctor of Engineering) from Darmstadt University of Technology

His research spans computer networks and network security, with over 150 publications in IoT security, industrial control systems, 5G networks, and voice assistant vulnerabilities. Recent work integrates machine learning for intrusion detection and fault prediction while addressing human factors in secure coding. Industry collaborations have yielded multiple patents.

Analysis of 2023-2025 publications reveals dominant themes in industrial IoT security (e.g., resilient time-sensitive networking), 5G infrastructure protection, and voice assistant threats (wake word jamming/spoofing). His team develops countermeasures using protocol design and ML-driven anomaly detection, with growing emphasis on human-centric security challenges.

Scientific Awards:

No specific awards are documented, though research impact is evidenced by patents and sustained funding from major international bodies.

Advising and Grants:

Secured funding from EU, EPSRC, and industry partners. Serves as grant reviewer for EPSRC (UK), ESF (EU), and FWO (Belgium), and on TPCs for DCOSS, EWSN, and IPSN conferences. Student supervision details are unavailable, but research leadership implies active mentoring.

• Grants: EU, EPSRC, Industry
• Review Roles: EPSRC, ESF, FWO

Labs and Teams:

Leads research at UCC's CONNECT Centre (telecommunications security). Previously directed Lancaster University's ACE-CSR, a UK government-designated cybersecurity research hub.
