Hi! I'm a Jump.Start postdoc at the CASA Excellence Cluster at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany. Before that, I was a visiting researcher at the Emerging Wireless Technologies (WiTech) lab at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. I did my PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy (MPI-SP), supervised by Prof. Christof Paar, graduating summa cum laude with the dissertation "Physical-Layer Security in Future Wireless Systems".

My research explores security and privacy challenges associated with physical-layer information in wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi, UWB, Bluetooth, cellular systems, and mmWave radar. I currently focus on smart radio environments, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) (also known as metasurfaces), adversarial wireless sensing, and physical tamper detection, investigating both offensive (e.g., RIS-based jamming, relay and distance manipulation attacks) and defensive solutions (e.g., Anti-Tamper Radio, IRShield). Much of my work involves real-world prototypical implementation and experimentation.
