About Me
I am a last year PhD candidate (defense at Sep. 2026) at CISPA, advised by Prof. Dr. Christian Rossow.
My research spans network and system security, with a focus on network protocol and application security, Denial-of-Servcie attacks, and network measurment.
I am currently on the 2026–2027 job market and seeking faculty positions in computer security and related areas.
