I am currently working as a research assistant at the Chair of Computer Engineering at the University of Passau under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Stefan Katzenbeisser. My current research project is CySeReS-KMU, in which I am researching new security technologies for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in supply chains. As a student assistant, I have also published several articles in the PUFMem and NANOSEC projects in the past.

In general, I have an interest in all topics related to hardware-based security (PUFs, TRNGs etc.) and error correction (LDPC-Codes, Hadamard-Codes, Reed-Solomon-Codes etc.). In my spare time, I work on various open-source coding projects - from Minecraft mods, reverse engineering tools like dex2jar and Flutter packages to the Computer Algebra System (CAS) CoCoA-5 (but here more in the direction of bugfixing and Windows maintenance!). I also maintain the largest, sorted, publicly accessible Minecraft mod archive.

• Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs)
• True Random Number Generators (TRNGs)
• Hardware security
• Fuzzy extractors and error correction (ECC)
• Security in the Internet of Things (IoT)
• Security in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs)
• Security in Supply Chains

All publications are listed on my website.
