Biography

I am a professor of computer science with a special interest in computer security. My reasearch interests include system security, applied cryptography and security testing methods and I received my PhD from FAU Erlangen under the supervision of Prof. Felix Freiling. Currently, I lead the ITS group at Münster University of Applied Sciences.

I live with my family in the beautiful city of Münster in the north-west of Germany. In my free time, I enjoy various disciplines of Mountainbiking such as Bike Trials, Dirt Jumping and Enduro.
