I am a Professor at the Faculty of Computer Science at Ruhr University Bochum, where I lead the Chair for Security and Privacy of Ubiquitous Systems. I am also a member of the Horst Görtz Institute for IT Security, and a Principal Investigator and Dean of Graduate School in the Excellence Cluster CASA .

Previously, I was affiliated as tenure-track Assistant Professor with the Digital Security group at Radboud University (2019-2020) and Software Systems group at Utrecht University (2018), both in The Netherlands. From mid-2015 until 2017, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Digital Security Group at Radboud University. I received my PhD from Deakin University, Australia in 2015.
