About me

I am currently working as Senior Research Engineer at the European Research Center of Huawei in Munich, Germany.
I hold a Ph.D. Degree in Computer Science from University of Mannheim in Germany, and a M.Sc. Degree in Information Technology from Carnegie Mellon University in USA.
An overview of my current and past positions:

• Senior Research Engineer - Security and Privacy at the European Research Center of Huawei Technologies in Munich, Germany
• Senior Researcher & Project Manager – Privacy Technology at Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany
• Visiting Researcher – Privacy & Mobile Data at National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan
• Postdoctoral Researcher – Privacy & Smart Environments at University of Mannheim, Germany

Expertise

My PhD research was focused on Security in Connected Smart Objects. Since then I have broadened my interests to include the following topics:

• Security, Privacy and Trust in Connected and Automated Vehicles
• Identity Management - Self-Sovereign Identity 
• Privacy Enhancing Technologies - Privacy by Design, Privacy Engineering, Privacy Design Patterns
• Anonymization algorithms based on differential privacy for big data - special focus on data mining algorithms (e.g. classification)
