Currently, I am to start my new position as Assoc. Professor at the Distributed and Embedded Security Research Group at University of Twente in the Netherlands. There, my research focus will be on security and privacy of Intelligent Transport Systems and Inter-Vehicle Networks. Other research interests include security and privacy in pervasive computing and general networks.

Before moving to University of Twente, I worked as a Senior Researcher ("Privatdozent") at the Institute of Media Informatics at Ulm University. In 2009, I finished my habilitation. At Ulm University, I established a local research group being involved in various research projects like SeVeCom or Preciosa. Besides my research activities I also taught courses on "Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing", "Web Engineering", and "Security in IT Systems".

In 1997, I graduated in computer science at Ulm University, from where I also received my doctoral degree in 2003 with highest honor (summa cum laude). My thesis was about "Security in Ad hoc Networks". My dissertation was suggested for the annual dissertation award of the "Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V." (German Computer Society) and received the dissertation awards of both the University Society at Ulm and the Südwestmetall Association.
