Dissertation
In progress. The dissertation is called "Dependable IoT Choreographies" and focuses on ways to make industrial and building automation systems more resilient and dependable. I present a number of approaches to reach this goal:
- Task allocation for reduced energy usage
- Efficient failure detection
- Automatic reconfiguration of systems
- Network-aware application development
I'm writing the dissertation at the Networking chair of the Technical University of Munich under Prof. Dr.-Ing. Georg Carle, and was employed at Siemens AG for the first four years of writing.
Master's thesis
My master thesis. The aim of the thesis was to provide a high-performance data store for internet-wide TLS certificate scans. Written in Go and using the PostgreSQL database, I was able to ingest large amounts of data into the database in short time, and retrieve information quickly.

Bachelor thesis
My bachelor thesis. I evaluated the practical feasibility of sybil attacks on the Kad peer-to-peer network. Kad is a distributed hash table protocol that is used for file sharing.

Other
As a research assistant at the TU München, I worked on the Crossbear project, a system for detecting SSL Man-in-the-Middle attacks.
Prior work was sponsored by the Future Internet EU project, where I adapted a Pastry implementation to simulation purposes, and participation in the measrdroid Project. All work was done at Chair VIII at the TU München.
