Biography

Hi, I am Philip, and I received a master’s degree in management information systems from the University of Regensburg in 2020. Since then, I have been a research assistant, pursuing a Ph.D. with the Chair of Information Systems at the University of Regensburg, Germany. Currently, I am involved in the research project SISSeC funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). My research includes the field of Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity. I am especially interested in digital twins as an additional IoT security layer. Digital twins enable efficient management and protection of IoT by abstracting devices, networks, or applications. Application scenarios of digital twins range widely, e.g., cybersecurity education, security orchestration, or security analytics.
