Professor Stefan Katzenbeisser

Professor Stefan Katzenbeisser holds the Chair of Computer Engineering at the University of Passau. He researches cyber security in embedded systems, critical infrastructures and technical data protection. He is spokesperson of the research cluster "ForDaySec - Security in everyday digitalisation", which is funded by the Bavarian Science Ministry. Besides participating in research projects on secure mobility, he is also involved in the research initiative "6G Research and Innovation Cluster (6G-RIC)". Since November 2023, Professor Katzenbeisser has been a representative of the DFG Review Board “Security and Dependability, Operating, Communication and Distributed Systems”.

'My research focuses on the design and analysis of security infrastructures. We cover the entire spectrum, from developing security anchors for embedded systems to designing security concepts for critical infrastructures. We are currently developing methods to protect user data of autonomous vehicles against cyber attacks. In order to design concepts for the future, we are dependent on views from the industry and other disciplines. In addition, it is important to me to introduce young scientists to our research at an early stage. We regularly offer seminars on our topics.'
