I'm a professor of computer science at the Ruhr University Bochum and the Research Center for Trustworthy Data Science and Security. I work in security and privacy, focusing on information integrity in online platforms and using data science and machine learning to study security. Prior, I was an assistant professor at the University of Lausanne, a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL and a postdoctoral researcher in the Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography (COSIC) at KU Leuven in Belgium. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Drexel University in the College of Computing and Informatics under the direction of Rachel Greenstadt.
We’re currently offering bachelor and masters thesis topics on how online information (e.g. on social media) can be manipulated. Topics span from data collection and analysis, applied machine learning for detection, and privacy/security of online information. Please contact me for more information.
