About me

I am a PhD student at Technische Universität Berlin. I am part of the Chair of Machine Learning and Security within the Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD). My research revolves around applications of Machine Learning for Computer Security aswell as privacy and security of modern Machine Learning Models.
