Background
Since March 2019, I’m a researcher and Ph.D. Student at Klaus Wehrle’s Chair of Communication and Distributed Systems after I graduated with an M.Sc. in Computer Science in September 2018 and received my B.Sc. in 2016. More precisely, I’m part of the Security and Privacy Group.
Research
Currently, my research interests focus on but are not limited to Network Security for Critical Infrastructures. This research encompasses the description of the current state, e.g., via Internet Measurements, and the development of novel mechanisms that increase the security of deployments in critical infrastructures.
Supervision of Theses
I am supervising Bachelor's and Master's Theses in these areas. If you are interested in these topics, look at the description of projects I am currently involved in, theses I previously supervised, and publications I was involved in (all down below).
