Cybersecurity Researcher & Lecturer
Constructor University
Analyzed security architectures and attack scenarios in networked and vehicular systems, documented risks and mitigations, and taught advanced cybersecurity subjects including Cryptography and Network Security.
Research & Teaching Assistant
University of Münster
Investigated privacy risks, trust models, attack scenarios, and communication security in opportunistic and vehicular networks while supporting teaching and student research.
Research Assistant
University of Rostock
Researched trust management, cooperation mechanisms, privacy-preserving communication, and key exchange under adversarial and resource-constrained conditions.
Lecturer
Higher-education institutions
Taught computer networks, programming, system design, and information security, building a lasting practice of making complex technical ideas understandable.
Selected research
Security, privacy, and trust in dynamic networks.
My research examines how distributed and mobile systems can communicate reliably without sacrificing security or privacy.
