Team

I was a doctoral researcher (2016/09 – 2021/08) and postdoctoral researcher (2021/09 – 2022/02) at the Cryptography and Privacy Engineering Group (ENCRYPTO) at the Department of Computer Science of Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany.

My research focuses on the design, implementation, and evaluation of privacy-preserving protocols at large scale. Previously, I did some work in the area of long-term storage.
