Sebastian Gerling

I started studying computer science in October 2004 and finished my Bachelor studies in September 2007 with a thesis on "LAN Crypt Gateway and Secure Browser Access" at the Information Security and Cryptography Chair. Afterwards, I did my Master studies in computer science and finished them with a thesis on "Acoustic Side-Channel Attacks on Printers" at the same chair in April 2009.

From July 2009 to December 2014 I was member of the International Max Planck Research School for Computer Science and the Saarbrücken Graduate School of Computer Science to pursue my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Michael Backes. I successfully defended my thesis titled "Plugging in Trust and Privacy - Three Systems to Improve Widely Used Ecosystems" in December 2014. Since July 2012, I have been the Administrative Manager of CISPA.
