About Me

I am a PhD Student for Secure Software Engineering at Technical University Dortmund. My goal is to increase precision of vulnerability detection by employing static analysis techniques on software projects and their dependencies. In order to do so, i generate data on a large amount of software libraries from repositories like Maven Central, a provide efficient query- and analysis-interfaces.

I earned my Master's degree at Paderborn University in 2021. During my studies, i worked as a Student Assistant Software Developer at dSPACE for five years, before being a Research Assistant at Paderborn University.

Research Interests

My research interests include:

  • Static Program Analysis, especially Callgraphs and Abstract Interpretation
  • Vulnerability Propagation and Impact Analysis
  • Software Quality Metrics
  • Evolution of Software Reuse
  • Compositional Program Analysis

Total Recall? How Good are Static Call Graphs Really?

In this paper, we develop a new approach for creating good dynamic call graphs that serve as a baseline for evaluating the precision and recall of static call graph algorithms.
