I am a doctoral researcher in the Software Technology Group supervised by Prof. Mezini. Currently, I focus on security problems caused by API-misuses, e.g., for cryptographic APIs. A well-known problem of cryptography in software is that cryptographic APIs are used in an insecure way. An example is that developers use ECB as a block mode for encryption which is known to be insecure. Within my research, we want to support developers to write secure code.
As part of my research within CROSSING, I am a contributor to the official Eclipse Plugin CogniCrypt which supports developers in using cryptographic APIs securely. Further, I contributed to the explainer video about CogniCrypt.
