Students Research and Mentoring

As a postdoctoral researcher at CISPA, I am grateful for the chance to supervise/mentor over 10 students in their Master's and Bachelor's thesis projects. These research initiatives are centered around investigating the realms of phishing, scams, 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 guiding through their individual thesis projects.
