I am currently a Ph.D student in the Information Security Group and a ECRYPT-NET fellow funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant. Before that, I obtained a MSc with distinction and BSc in Computer Scienes at Graz University of Technology in Austria. Moreover, I have been working as a Software Developer at NXP Semiconductors in Belgium and Austria and as a Firmware Developer for RFID chips at Austria Microsystems. Furthermore, I worked as a Research Assistant in the LASEC crypto group at EPFL, Switzerland and I did my masters thesis at the crypto group at DTU Denmark.
