Short Biography
Since March 2015, I am a researcher at the Chair of Communication and Distributed Systems. I received my master’s degree and my Ph.D in computer science at RWTH Aachen University in September 2014 and March 2021, respectively. My research interests lie in reliable machine-to-machine communications with challenging latency constraints, as well as new approaches for increasing the security in the industial IoT. Currently, I am working in the CONSENT project. Previously, I worked in the KoI project.
