About Me
I am a computer science graduate with primary fields of interest in digital communication, security & privacy, and embedded systems. Furthermore, I am interested in electrical engineering, which I studied as a minor. My pronouns are he/him.
In September 2024, I graduated “with distinction (1.1)” in Computer Science (M.Sc.) from RWTH Aachen University.
Beginning from November 2020, I am involved in a joint research project between RWTH Aachen University and the National Research Council Canada as part of the NRC-MITACS-RWTH Globalink Research Award Program. The project is conducted virtually at the University of Waterloo and aims at conceiving a privacy-preserving, cryptography-based contact tracing platform.
In addition, from July 2020 until December 2020 I worked as a student assistant at the Security and Privacy group of the Chair of Communication and Distributed Systems (COMSYS) at RWTH Aachen University.
From September 2019 to June 2020, I was an Erasmus+ exchange student at Imperial College London. Before that, I completed my Computer Science (B.Sc.) degree with the grade “excellent (1.0)” at RWTH Aachen University. My bachelor’s thesis was awarded with the KuVS Bachelor Thesis Award 2019.
