Contributed to the QPEP project (fast & secure VPN for GEO Satellite Broadband)
Involved in the discovery of the Brokenwire vulnerability (https://brokenwire.fail)
Co-founded OpenSky, a sensor network covering over 720,000 km² in Europe for aviation communication data collection
Background
Research interests primarily lie in cyber-physical system security and network security
Specific topics include authentication and intrusion detection using physical-layer information, RF reactive jamming (e.g., Wireless Firewalls), traffic analysis, and trade-offs between system/network security and performance
Works with technologies such as software-defined radios (SDRs), wireless sensors, and NFC/RFIDs
Interested in behavioural biometrics and applications like continuous authentication using physiological signals
Previously researched non-functional aspects of distributed systems, including network performance (network calculus), resource management, and decentralized coordination in wireless networks
Founding member of OpenSky, a large-scale participatory sensor network collecting real-world air traffic communication data (e.g., ADS-B/Mode-S)
