About Me

I am a PhD candidate in Prof. Felix Freiling's Forensic Computing Group. My position is funded by the Research Training Group 2475: Cybercrime and Forensic Computing, a research project that brings together scientists from computer science and criminal law.

My current research focuses on targeted/surveillance advertising, data brokers, and ADINT. I am also interested in digital forensics relating to Android smartphones, with a particular focus on custom ROMs such as GrapheneOS and cryptophones in general. Additionally, I am interested in the broader topic of digital sovereignty.
