About

Being a member of Prof. Freiling’s forensic computing group and the research training group 2475 “Cybercrime and Forensic Computing“, my research and teaching focuses on digital forensics and the fight against cybercrime. Before joining the FAU, I worked in the field of digital investigations. I hold a M.Sc. in the subject of “Digital Forensics” (2021) and another one in the subject of “Computer Science & Media” (2016).

Theses

Supervision of Theses, Seminar Papers, and Projects

If you are enrolled as a computer science student at the FAU or in the study program digital forensics of Albstadt-Sigmaringen University, I might advise your thesis, seminar papers, and projects in a field which is close to my research and teaching activities. I am interested in the following research fields:

intrusion analysis · event reconstruction · digital investigations · threat intelligence · theoretical and practical topics of digital forensics

If you are interested in open topics, refer to UnivIS, or if you would like to pitch your own ideas and are looking for an advisor, feel free to drop me an email.
