I am head of a research team on smart building security at Fraunhofer FKIE, Bonn. Starting in October, I will be a full-professor at a university of applied sciences. I received my PhD in 2013 from the University of Hagen. I gave several talks and started writing books when I was 17 (sold ~47.000 copies). A list of my ~100 publications can be found here.
My research involves network information hiding (network covert channels and network steganography), building automation/smart building security, human aspects of information security, and information security terminology / taxonomy.
I am a member of several steering committees, initiatives, program and organizing committees (cf. details). I am (or was) lecturing and supervising at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences, Bonn University and Hagen University. A list of my projects, both funded and spare-time software projects, is also available.
In addition to computer science, I am interested in psychology (which I studied for a few semesters), university history and campus novels.
