Research
My research is centered around the security of software supply chains (SSC) and particularly on software bills of materials (SBOMs).
How can SBOMs be used effectively to withstand SSC attacks that target one link in the supply chain to affect many others? How can accuracy and completeness problems in SBOMs be addressed? How can concise usage scenarios for SBOMs be evaluated?
I ground my research the goal to achieve cyber resilience.
The basic assumption behind cyber resilience is that attackers will be successful at some point. Therefore, it is not enough to focus only on defense mechanisms. There must also be strong recovery or fallback options and constant adaptation to new threats.
Supply Chain Security and SBOMs Focus Group
To facilitate dialogue around the aforementioned research topics, I host an informal event series that takes place once a month. There we have short talks followed by discussions about SBOMs and SSC security. Let me know if you are interested in joining.

Curriculum Vitae
Before working at the Technical University of Munich, I completed my studies in computer science (M.Sc.) at the University of Leipzig and Waseda University in Tokyo. The focus of my master's degree was on cybersecurity and deep learning. In the field of cybersecurity, I attended courses on the basics of cybersecurity, security issues in Covid-19 warning apps, cryptographic protocols and data protection.
