I am currently a lecturer and researcher at DISCO. Until 2018, I was a PhD student supervised by
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens B. Schmitt. Before that, I worked for the Information Technology and Cyberspace group of
armasuisse S+T and visited the
University of Oxford (hosted by
Prof. Ivan Martinovic) in 2012. I am also a co-founder of the
OpenSky Network association and managing director of
SeRo Systems GmbH.
