 About me I am a principal investigator and the leader of the Analytics Based Cybersecurity Mission in ATHENE German National Research Center. I am also a representative for Fraunhofer SIT in ATHENE board. Since 2014 I am a PI in Projekt S3 in SFB 1119 CROSSING. Amon other activities, I am focusing on raising awareness to cyber attacks and promoting defences and security mechanisms against attacks in different communities and forums. Within that effort, I am a representative for Fraunhofer SIT at the NIS platform WG3 of the European Commission and an IEEE cyber security ambassador. I work on all the aspects of systems and network security, and mainly focus on identifying vulnerabilities in the Internet infrastructure and services, and on designing defences. See my publications for more information. Countermeasures, against the vulnerabilities discovered within my research, were integrated into operating systems and Top-Level Domains (such as ORG). My research was granted a number of awards, including, the Checkpoint award, ICANN fellowship, IETF/IRTF Applied Networking Research Prize, Microsoft Azure Research Award, and others. For more information about me see my bio and cv or check my linkedin profile. For information about my work see my recent publications, DBLP and scholar profiles. Scientific community service I am co-chairing ESORICS 2021 with Elisa Bertino. In 2020 I organised and co-chaired with Radia Perlman the first ACM SIGCOMM workshop on traffic manipulation attacks. In 2020 I also co-chaired CANS 2020 with Serge Vaudenay, in Wien, Austria. The first ACM SIGCOMM ManTra’20 workshop was created to provide a venue for mature as well as for early stage research on traffic manipulation attacks and defences. The goal of the workshop is to deepen our understanding on the rising threat of traffic manipulation attacks and to explore defences. The renowned expert program committee will enable the authors to receive feedback for ripe as well as for innovative-early work in the area of traffic manipulation which will also help it mature into full-fledged submissions to top tier conferences and journals, see CFP for more info. When time permits, I also serve on program committes of security conferences. This year on USENIX Security 2021. Hiring Students interested in applied cyber security research in Darmstadt, can apply for pre-doc and post-doc positions at the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT). We also hire research assistants, and engineers for research in cyber security. The description of some of the research projects with open positions is available here. To apply for a position within the cyber security department at Fraunhofer SIT, follow the instructions listed on the job description page. Students interested in applying for positions in theoretical research (including cryptography, complexity, algorithms,...) should indicate "application for TUD" in the subject of the email.
