Suman Sourav

Position: Assistant Professor
Categories: Mentors 2026/2027
Location: Aalborg University, Region Hovedstaden

Background

I am an Assistant Professor at Aalborg University, Denmark (Copenhagen Campus). I earned my Ph.D. from the National University of Singapore, where I also received the Research Achievement Award. My research focuses on (1) improving global connectivity through novel routing and scheduling frameworks for satellite network constellations and edge-cloud systems. (2) proactive attack detection in cyber-physical systems through data-driven techniques. (3) Bridging theory to practice through deployable, lightweight solutions validated on real data and infrastructure.

Motivation

I strongly believe in the value of mentorship, both as someone who’s benefited from it, and as someone who wants to give back. Throughout my own journey, I’ve had mentors who helped me navigate uncertainty, encouraged me when I doubted myself, and provided immense support when I needed it. I’d like to offer that same kind of support to young and aspiring scientists who are finding their own paths. At the same time, I see mentorship as a learning experience for the mentor, too. I am looking forward to being part of a network where we can all learn, share, and help one another move forward.
