Curriculum vitae
🏫 Academic life
- 2015-2022: PhD student at Paderborn University with Johannes Blömer.
- 2010-2015: Computer science Bachelor’s and Master’s at Paderborn University (with distinction).
📈 Projects I’ve been involved in
- I co-created 🦎 Cryptimeleon, a Java library for prototyping privacy-preserving crypto.
- I am planning and supervising the prototype implementation of our 💳 incentive system as part of a transfer project.
- I’m (loosely) involved with the ZKproof 🗄 standardization effort for Sigma protocols.
- I have supervised a DAAD RISE stipend student. The internship resulted in 🥶 Subzero, a zero-knowledge compiler for Cryptimeleon.
- I am currently doing research with subproject 🪰 C1 in the SFB 901. Research on privacy-preserving crypto, in particular anonymous authentication.
For more information, see the research page or take a look at my publications.
