I am a PhD student at the Institute of System Security, TU Braunschweig. Prior to that I graduated from Georg-August-University Göttingen in Mathematics and Computer Science and worked in the R&D department of the Volkswagen Group. My research interests revolve around machine learning techniques for computer security applications, in particular how to explain such systems and enrich them with uncertainty measures.
