Applied research that impacts practice

My work bridges academic research and real-world applications in cybersecurity education.

As a member of the CYBERSEC lab, I aim to support educators and students through automated analysis of learning data. The results are directly used in practice, including European and national open-source projects for cybersecurity and incident response training.

My 50+ research papers are published in peer-reviewed, globally recognized venues and are freely available via GitHub and Google Scholar. I regularly give talks at top-tier academic conferences — such as ACM SIGCSE and LAK — in the USA, Europe, and Asia.

Teaching practical skills in a meaningful way

Sharing knowledge through teaching and mentoring students is at the core of my work.

I aim to design courses that are useful and interesting, so that students develop skills relevant beyond the classroom. As with my research, I always check that my classes and materials are accurate, thorough, and clear in both content and form.

I teach cybersecurity topics, especially privacy and AI, as well as data science. I also created math videos in my project Elea and for the company Datakabinet used in thousands of schools. Overall, I received highly positive feedback and a university-wide best teacher award.
