Students Advising and Research

As a postdoctoral researcher at CISPA, I am grateful for the chance to advise/mentor over 15+ students in their Master's and Bachelor's thesis projects as their primary advisor. These research initiatives are centered around investigating the realms of Internet cybercrimes such as phishing, scams, illicit campaigns, and prevalent abuses in real-world scenarios. We often submit the research work to flagship conferences: IEEE S&P, USENIX Security, ACM CCS, and NDSS. Below, you'll find a list of both current and alumni students whom I've had the honor of advising through their individual thesis projects.
