Birger Andersen

Birger Andersen is a Professor in the Department of Engineering Technology and Didactics at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in Energy Technology and Computer Science. His research actively contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through IoT security, wireless communication, and machine learning applications. He leads multiple projects including Machine Learning for Beehives Monitoring and Towards The 6G Authentication Protocol.

Andersen's research spans post-quantum cryptography for IoT devices, security vulnerabilities in autonomous vehicle infrastructures, and wireless protocol analysis (LoRaWAN/NB-IoT). His work integrates machine learning for environmental monitoring and addresses jamming attacks on critical communication systems. Key focus areas include cryptographic algorithm implementation on microcontrollers and securing next-generation 6G networks.

Recent publications reveal strong trends toward hybrid post-quantum cryptography solutions for resource-constrained IoT devices and 6G authentication systems. His research emphasizes practical security implementations in wireless communication protocols, with significant attention to LoRa-based systems and autonomous vehicle infrastructures. The work consistently bridges theoretical cryptography with real-world hardware constraints.

Andersen supervises PhD student Turnip, T. N. (6G Authentication Protocol) and Master's student You, L. (Nature Assessment via Remote Sensing). His research is funded through projects like Machine Learning for Beehives Monitoring (2023-2026) and Jamming Against Critical Wireless Communication (2022-2023), with industry collaborations through InnoTech - TaskForce and F2D2: The Community for Dynamic Data.

He is integral to DTU's Cybersecurity Labs and contributes to the Summer School in Cyber Security. His F2D2 project builds smart city cybersecurity frameworks through the Community for Dynamic Data initiative, addressing urban security challenges while advancing green transition technologies.
