Research

As a Ph.D. candidate in the MAIS group, my research addresses the topic of runtime monitoring and enforcement for distributed applications. In particular, I have been developing CliSeAu (published at ICISS'14), a tool for cooperative enforcement of security for distributed Java programs, as well as a formal model of a cooperative enforcement mechanism (published at FAST'11).

Short Bio

My first contact with the group of Heiko Mantel was in 2006 at RWTH Aachen, when I started working on the MAKS framework as a student researcher for the group. Later, yet still as a student researcher for the group, I switched to the topic of covert channels which were then also the topic of my Diploma thesis (see the publications below). After graduating in computer science at RWTH Aachen, I started as Ph.D. candidate in the MAIS group and CASED scholarship holder in 2009. Subsequently, I contributed to the projects FM-SecEng and RS3.

Theses and Student Positions (HiWi)

If you are a student at TU Darmstadt and are interested in writing a Bachelor's, Diploma or Master's thesis or in working as a student researcher (HiWi) on the research topics I am researching, please contact one of my colleagues Yuri Dantas or Tobias Hamann, as I am currently not looking for students to supervise.

Teaching

I have been involved in the following teaching activities:

Services to the Scientific Community

  • I was responsible assistant for the content of two project-wide meetings of the DFG Priority Program RS3 (Staff Meeting 2014 and Annual Meeting 2014), moderated working sessions of three RS3 project meetings (Annual Meetings 2011 and 2012, and Staff Meeting 2012), supported the organization of three further RS3 project meetings (Preparation Workshop 2009, Staff Meeting 2015, and Annual Meeting 2015), and organized a workshop on "Security in the Large" with researchers from the RS3 project.
  • I have been reviewing for CCS (2011 and 2012), ESORICS (2009 and 2016), ESSoS (2012 and 2013), FoSSaCS (2011), IFIP SEC (2015), IJIS, POST (2012 and 2015), and TRUST (2012).

Administration of Technical Infrastructure

I am and have been involved in the supervision of the technical infrastructure of the MAIS group. As part of this responsibility, I supervised the following apprentices:

  • André Fischer (Fachinformatiker Systemintegration), successfully finished in 2014
  • Kevin Bouhsard (Fachinformatiker Systemintegration), successfully finished in 2015. His final project was ranked first in the CAST award in IT security 2015 in the category of "other final projects".
  • Jan-Niklas Klocke (Fachinformatiker Anwendungsentwicklung), ongoing, started in 2014
