Research

My main research interests range from mobile and ad hoc networks, mobile applications and vehicle networks, all kinds of distributed systems to embedded systems. A special focus lies on communication schemes, robust security and usable privacy.

Thesis

In 2009, I completed my doctoral thesis (Dr. rer. nat, roughly equivalent to PhD) on
Secure Communication in Inter-Vehicle Networks.

ISBN: 978-3-86853-271-5
Dr. Hut Verlag, 2009

The thesis is available as a hardcover book e.g. via Amazon or directly from the publisher.

Here is the BibTeX entry.
