About Myself

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.

Currently, I am a research assistant in the group of Prof. Weber at the Institute of Media Informatics at Ulm University where my main focus is on Inter-Vehicular Networks and their security and privacy. Other research interests include pervasive computing, wireless sensor networks, and web security.

Besides my research activities I also enjoy teaching courses on "Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing", "Web Engineering", and "Security in IT Systems" as well as advising our students in their projects.
