Short Bio
I received my Diplom in Computer Science
from TUM in 2002.
I then completed the Ph.D. program at the University of Cambridge
Computer Laboratory. There, I was one of the brains
juggled by
Jon Crowcroft, my supervisor and pub coach.
In 2006 I moved on to ICSI's Networking and Security
group, where I am a senior research scientist. My
research focuses on topics in network monitoring,
distributed systems, and network security.
From 2012 until mid-2017 I headed the networking team
at Lastline.
From 2014 through 2015 I served on
OISF's advisory board.
I'm currently enjoying a return to all things
Zeek at
Corelight. I'm
currently Zeek's tech lead.
I'm German, though they say I have a sense of humor.
