Short Biography

I studied applied computer science at the DHBW Stuttgart Campus Horb (2015-2018) and the University Heidelberg (2020-2022). During my masters, I focused on cybersecurity with a master's thesis on "Honeypot Implementation in a Cloud environment". Additionally, I worked as a research assistent at bwInfoSec, where I have been a permanent team member since April 2022.
