Cyber Security

My current research focus is on bridging the gap between theoretical security research and practical application, with a focus on corporate security and Security Operations Centers (SOC).

In the past, I have worked on the following research topics:
- Hardware and embedded security (e.g., hardware Trojans, physical unclonable functions, and IP protection)
- Attack simulation and security evaluation of network security approaches
- Applied cryptography
