Research Interests

My research interests include:

  • Information Stealer Malware and Malware Analysis
  • Credential Compromise and Session Hijacking
  • Privacy-Preserving Security Technologies
  • Security of Satellite Communication Systems

Theses and Student Projects

I regularly offer topics for:

  • Bachelor’s and Master’s theses
  • Project Groups (PGs)
  • Labs
  • Seminars

For Bachelor’s and Master’s theses, I preferably supervise students who have previously participated in one of my project groups, labs or seminars.

If you are interested in working on one of these topics, feel free to contact me. You are also welcome to approach me with your own ideas for project groups, labs, seminars or theses.

For project groups and labs, both individual students and small groups of 1–4 students are welcome.
