Emre Süren

Dr. Emre Süren serves as a Researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology within the Division of Network and Systems Engineering and concurrently leads Cybercampus Sweden's Royal Hacking Lab as its Head. His dual roles position him at the forefront of national cybersecurity research with extensive collaborations across EU Horizon projects, Swedish government entities, and international academic institutions.

His research spans critical domains including LLM security, IoT hacking, cyber threat intelligence, and digital forensics, with particular emphasis on AI-driven vulnerability research. Current work focuses on developing frameworks like CORTEX for AI-enhanced threat intelligence and Applied VORTEX for AI-based vulnerability discovery, supported by substantial grants from Vinnova, Swedish Research Council, and EU Horizon programs.

Dr. Süren's publication portfolio demonstrates consistent innovation in security research, with recent articles exploring procedural generation for power systems security, penetration testing methodologies for connected households, and practical IoT threat research frameworks. His work increasingly integrates AI/ML techniques to address evolving cybersecurity challenges, particularly in zero-day exploit detection and IoT security.

• National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing grants (NAISS) for LLM-based threat intelligence
• EU Horizon funding for DFIRent (AI-assisted digital forensics)
• Swedish Research Council funding for Applied VORTEX (5.7M SEK)
• Digital Futures funding for CORTEX (3M SEK)
• Vinnova Cybercampus grant (17.5M SEK total)

As an active educator, he supervises numerous PhD and Master's students on projects ranging from mobile application security to AI-powered honeypot architectures. His technical committee service includes NordSec, DFIR Review, and IEEE Security & Privacy, while his practical contributions include open-source tools like Memotopsy (memory forensics) and PatrIoT (IoT vulnerability research methodology).
