If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

About me:

I am Faculty at the Helmholtz Center for Information Security (CISPA), leading the System Security research group in Dortmund, Germany. At the same time, I am professor at both the CS department of Saarland University and the CS department of TU Dortmund. Maarten van Steen and Herbert Bos supervised me during my PhD studies, which I completed at VU Amsterdam in 2013. The primary interests of my research group centers on these areas:


Software Security (e.g., exploitation, defenses)	Network Security and Privacy	Denial-of-Service Attacks and Defenses

Community Services:

I regularly act as reviewer for the most impactful venues in the cybersecurity context. Find below an incomplete subset of conferences I was involved in. Note that I generally decline invitations to review for journals given their lower impact/visibility in cybersecurity research.
