Researcher Profile

Field: Dependable Systems Engineering

Main Research: Safety and Security

Experience: My current research is focused on safety&security co-engineering, mainly in the automotive, transportation and industrial domain. Information security risks are a rising concern for software-based safety-critical systems. Increasing system complexity and connectivity leads to susceptibility against security threats. Connected safety critical systems needs to be intrusion tolerant and stay safe despite of attacks or intrusions.
