I am a postdoctoral researcher at Boston University in the group of Manuel Egele. My research interests include Information Security, Security Modeling, Security Engineering, Security Testing, Domain Specific Languages, and Usage Control. Before joining Boston University, I was a Ph.D student at the Faculty of Computer Science at the Technical University Munich (TU Munich). My supervisor was Prof. Dr. Alexander Pretschner. In March 2013, I won the Google Best PhD Student Paper Award at ICST 2013 (PhD Symposium). Before joining TU Munich, I was a scientific researcher in the Certifiable Trustworthy IT Systems group at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and a scientific researcher in the Native Systems Group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich). I received both my BSc. and MSc. degree (Information Security) in Computer Science from ETH Zurich.
