Kim Hammar

Kim Hammar is a postdoctoral researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, with affiliations at the University of Melbourne (2025-2028) and Imperial College London. He works under Prof. Tansu Alpcan and Prof. Emil Lupu, focusing on the intersection of game theory, control theory, and large-scale systems for networking and security applications. Previously, he completed his Ph.D. at KTH under Prof. Rolf Stadler and Prof. Pontus Johnson.

His research spans cybersecurity, networked systems, and adaptive control mechanisms. Key contributions include applying

• optimal stopping
• reinforcement learning
• conjectural online learning
• causal modeling

to intrusion response and network security. His 2025-2024 publications highlight advancements in automated security through game-theoretic and control-theoretic approaches, with a focus on dynamic environments.

Kim received the VR International Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2025. He has served as an assistant for

• Computer Networks (EP111U)
• Computer Systems (EP121U)

at KTH.
