I am a tenure-track assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science at RWTH Aachen University where I head the Security and Privacy in Industrial Cooperation (SPICe) group. My research focuses on all technical security and privacy aspects of industrial networks and industrial data sharing, especially concerning the energy and production sectors. In addition to my appointment at RWTH Aachen University, I co-lead the Secure Production & Energy Networks research group within the Cyber Analysis & Defense (CA&D) department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics FKIE in Bonn, Germany.
I studied computer science at RWTH Aachen University, where I obtained a Diploma degree (equiv. M.Sc.) and a PhD (Dr. rer. nat., with distinction). Before starting my PhD, I spent some wonderful time as a research intern at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg. My academic achievements were awarded with the Nachwuchsförderpreis Verbraucherforschung NRW, the Borchers-Plakette, and the ICT Young Researcher Award.
