About Me
My research in the field of energy systems and critical infrastructures focuses on the cybersecurity of IT and OT systems. In particular, I examine attacks by nation-state actors, known as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). My projects include a dedicated cyber range for attack emulation and recreation of known APT attacks with simultaneous recording of extensive audit log data from hosts and devices.
