I am Professor of Cybersecurity at Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences. My research interests include software security, offensive security testing and reverse engineering. I offer cybersecurity lectures in advanced semesters, such as digital forensics, mobile security or software reverse engineering, and I also enjoy teaching basic computer science. I am also the university’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).

I have been working full-time in the information security industry since 2007. Over the years, I have provided cybersecurity consulting services to corporations, large enterprises, and government agencies, conducted numerous security assessments, penetration tests, and training courses. I have also discovered and responsibly disclosed a large number of vulnerabilities in popular and widely used software.

I regularly present my research in various magazines and journals as well as at academic and industry conferences (OWASP, DeepSec, Shakacon, Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium, IEEE Security & Privacy, etc.). I’m also an author for heise and write articles for heise online, c’t, iX and Mac & i.

I enjoy spending my free time with my family or on my bikes. I believe that the ideal number of bikes is n+1 😉

I am looking forward to your contact.
