I am currently a cryptographer at the KASTEL Cryptography and Research Group in Karlsruhe, Germany.

My primary research focus encompasses the comprehensive cryptanalysis of post-quantum cryptography providing both, attacks on candidates of the NIST competition as well as rigorous security estimation techniques. Most recently, I enjoy working on provable security, such as quantum-annoying‘ness in password authenticated key exchange.

On the practical side, I work on mutually authenticated key exchange. I collaboration with the German Aerospace Center I worked on the MAKE procedure of LDACS, Europe’s next-generation civil aviation communication system.

My list of Publications and other Talks are available online.

I am part of the managing body of Fachgruppe KRYPTO of the German Informatics Society. We organize summerschools and networking events every year. You can find more information here.

In my free time I love to cook and visit new places. A piece of free advice: Never take the same path twice!
