Hey, I am a PhD student researching in the field of microarchitectural attacks, such as side-channel and transient-execution attacks. I especially like to work on automated tools for the discovery of such vulnerabilities. In my free time, I participate in Capture the Flag competitions as part of the team saarsec.
