Research interests
I’m interested in everything related to the intersection of programming languages and security.
More specifically:
- Vulnerability Detection using Static Analysis
- Risk Assessment of Software Libraries
- Security Guarantees in Type Systems
- Language-based Security
- Research Quality in Computer Science (esp. artifacts)
Short Biography
Since 2020 I am a (tenure-track) professor at Technische Universität Dortmund
.
I was (interim) Professor for IT security at Paderborn University from October 2019 to September 2020. Before, I was a PostDoc in Eric Bodden’s
Secure Software Engineering Group
at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute
.
I received my doctoral degree from Technische Universität Darmstadt
in 2016 while working in Mira Mezini’s
Software Technology Group
on problems in the field of static analysis and security. In this time, I received a Software Campus
grant for my research project PEAKS. The Software Campus initiative is a program for the development of Germany’s future senior IT executives.
Before this I worked for 5 years for a-tune software AG
in Darmstadt as their Chief Architect. My team and I built enterprise software for highly-regulated environments based on a practical product line approach.
I studied at Technische Universität Darmstadt
and received a Diploma (eq. to Master degree) in 2006.
