I am a Professor of Computer Science at TU Braunschweig and currently the Dean of Studies of Computer Science. Since 2016 I am leading the Institute of System Security. Before taking this position, I have been working at the University of Göttingen, Technische Universität Berlin, and Fraunhofer Institute FIRST.
My research interests revolve around computer security and machine learning. My group is developing novel methods for detecting computer attacks, analyzing malicious software and discovering vulnerabilities in software. I am also interested in efficient algorithms for analyzing structured data, such as strings, trees, and graphs.
My Erdős number is 3 (Müller → Jagota → Erdős) and my Bacon number is ∞. I am a distant academic relative of David Hilbert and Carl Friedrich Gauß (see here), although this doesn't help when solving math problems.

Here are two plots showing my reviewing activity. As you can see, I am writing a lot of reviews per year. Most of the time, this is fun.
I am also tracking my email activity. Here are two plots showing the number of incoming and outgoing emails over the last two weeks.
I am maintaining a list of top-cited security papers. The list is automatically created based on citations of papers published at the four tier-1 security conferences.
I am a member of "Verband der krawattenlosen Wissensträger" (VDKW)
