Über den Wissenschaftler

Felix Morsbach ist Doktorand am Lehrstuhl für IT-Sicherheit des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT). Er hat einen Hintergrund in Software-Engineering, eingebetteten Systemen und High-Performance-Computing. Seine aktuellen Forschungsinteressen liegen in der Privatheit von Verhaltensdaten, Privatheitsangriffen auf solche Daten und deren Anonymisierung. Dabei liegt sein Fokus auf Methoden des maschinellen Lernens.

Forschungsinteressen:

  • Privacy of Behavioral Data
  • Privacy Attacks
  • Anonymizations
  • Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning
  • Membership Inference Attacks
  • Technical Privacy Notions

Wenn du am KIT studierst und Interesse an einer Abschlussarbeit in einem der oben genannten Bereiche hast, melde dich gerne bei mir. Ich bin immer auf der Suche nach motivierten und interessierten Studierenden.
