Short Bio

I am currently a lecturer in computer science at Zurich University of Applied Sciences. My interest, and therefore my research, is on all aspects of security, but has recently been shifting towards IoT security. I have a PhD from Saarland University and have completed one postdoc at the Università degli Studi di Trento and one at ETH Zurich. Before that, I was an entrepreneur, and before that, I was a sysadmin.

I teach security courses (IT Security, Software Security 1), and also the more general Algorithms and Data Structures course. I have in the past also taught Programming 1, the introductory programming course, and Projektschiene IT 1–2, a ZHAW specialty in which students learn how to work in a project-oriented way.
