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. Since then, I have provided cybersecurity consulting services to corporations, large enterprises, and government agencies, and 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 am co-founder of NESO Security Labs GmbH in Heilbronn, Germany.

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, 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.
