I'm a tenured faculty at the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security in Saarbrücken, Germany, with a focus on microarchitectural side-channel attacks and system security. I obtained my PhD with the title "Software-based Side-Channel Attacks and Defenses in Restricted Environments" in 2019 from Graz University of Technology (advised by Daniel Gruss).
