Prof. Dr. Christian Wressnegger

About me

I am an assistant professor at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).  Before, I've been a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of System Security, TU Braunschweig. I am holding a PhD from TU Braunschweig and graduated from Graz University of Technology where I majored in Computer Science. During the last years I had the opportunity to get to know different sides and aspects of research as well as professional software development. Over various stages I sought to combine the fields of machine learning and computer security, until I eventually ended up in the reserach group of Prof. Rieck.
