About
I'm Professor of Applied Cybersecurity. Areas of interest are information privacy, identity management, cyberwar, privacy technology, privacy risk assessment, and general cybersecurity topics.
I teach in many areas of computer science, amonge others Internet of Things, network security and Privacy by Design. I supervise bachelor and master thesis projects, in collaboration with industry, associations and public organizations.
