I am currently a scientific researcher at Meta in the Statistics & Privacy team working on secure Multi Party Computation.
Previously, I have been a scientific researcher at VISA Research and a postdoc at UC Berkeley. I received my PhD in 2016 from Ruhr-Universität Bochum on "Cryptography from Hard Learning Problems". I received a Diploma in computer science in 2012 from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing, but I also like cooking and I am active in my church community.
