About me

I am a doctoral student in the research group Artificial Intelligence and Security led by Prof. Dr. Christian Wressnegger at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). I received my B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering at DHBW Mosbach in cooperation with Bosch Group in 2022. Afterwards, I completed my M.Sc. in Information Technology at Mannheim University of Applied Sciences in 2024, where I focused my studies on machine learning, embedded systems, and IT security. For my master’s thesis, I was part of a research group for artificial intelligence at Vector Informatik. Here I worked on machine learning methods for predicting semantic similarity between textual sequences.

Currently, my research is concentrated on explanation-aware backdoor attacks for transformer architectures. In the future, I will continue my work in the field of explainability, particularly for generative LLMs.
