Short CV

Research

As part of the Security and Privacy research group, my research revolves around security-related topics; specifically, I research how Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs), particularly those that use anomaly detection, can be used to effectively defend modern systems against attacks. This research includes the development of modern (and efficient) defenses against ransomware and the integration of host- and network data to improve detection capabilities.

Background

Since April 2021, I am a researcher and Ph.D. student at the Chair of Communication and Distributed Systems and a part of the Security and Privacy research group. In 2015, I began my studies at RWTH Aachen University, received my B.Sc. degree in 2018, and graduated with an M.Sc. in Computer Science in 2020.
