SootUp

Future-proofing the Soot Framework for Program Analysis and Transformation. The goal of this DFG project is to develop a brand-new version of Soot. This new version will enable people to use Soot in a much more flexible manner. I am a main contributor to this project.
Together with my colleagues I kick-started the design and development of the new SootUP framework.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from Paderborn University in 2024, where I was an external research associate in the Secure Software Engineering Group, advised by Prof. Dr. Eric Bodden and Prof. Dr. Ben Hermann. Prior to that, I earned my MSc in Computer Science from Paderborn University in 2016.
My research focuses on the detection and analysis of vulnerable open-source libraries, their usage in software systems, and automated approaches for secure dependency updates. I apply static code analysis and empirical software engineering methods to improve the security and maintainability of software ecosystems.
During my PhD, I co-founded CodeShield GmbH and was active as an AWS Community Builder, bridging academic insights with industry needs in the field of application security.
