From 2015 to 2019, I was a PhD candidate at Radboud University in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Under the supervision of Peter Schwabe, I worked on (software implementations of) post-quantum cryptography.
Since 2020, I've shifted focus towards technical threat intelligence, digital forensics and reverse engineering. This web page mainly serves as a collection of my academic work, as well as a place to post some blog posts and CTF write-ups.
