Research Interest
My research interests lie in the field of mobile and self-organizing networks, especially mobile ad hoc networks and vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Another focus of my work is security and privacy in IT systems. Many of my research projects are in the overlap area of ​​both topics, such as projects on the safety and privacy of Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks. Other work deals with the security of networked embedded systems, eg in the context of Industrial Control Systems or Building Automation. Other projects deal with Secure Cloud Computing, Crypto-Currencies, distributed graph-based computing and many other topics.
