During my Bachelor's (2018–2022) and Master's (2022–2024) in Computer Science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), I explored a wide range of topics in the field. During this time, I developed a strong interest in IT security, especially in controlling and protecting critical data. This interest drew me to distributed systems, where anyone can participate.
Since February 2025, I have been researching these systems in the "Decentralized Systems and Network Services" group. I focus on ensuring fairness for users and providing strong guarantees, so that these systems can support critical applications, such as smart energy networks. One of the most interesting topics I work on is improving censorship resistance in distributed systems, which is crucial to ensure their reliability under various conditions.
