About the Scientist

Julian Todt is a PhD student at the chair for Privacy and Security at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. He works in the area of behavioral privacy on anonymization methods for biometric data. This includes evaluating existing anonymizations, analysing privacy risks of modern sensors via new attacks and designing new strong anonymization methods.

Research interests:

  • Privacy Enhancing Technologies
  • Evaluation of Privacy Risks of Biometric Data
  • Practical Anonymization Methods
