Research

The "Intelligent System Security" research group works on the application of machine learning in the area of computer security. We develop learning-based methods for attack detection on different levels or the discovery of vulnerabilities in software and embedded devices. Another central and very important subject of our research is the robustness and security of machine learning methods themselves. Here, we are particularly looking for reinforcement.

Your Profile

You have a Diploma or Master's degree in computer science or any related field. You also require very good knowledge in machine learning and ideally computer security. Above all, however, you need to show enthusiasm for conducting research on cutting-edge topics in machine learning and computer security.

Field of Work

Possible research topics include, but are not limited to:

• Secure and robust learning methods
• Attacks against learning-based systems
• Robust learning on limited hardware (e.g., embedded systems, IoT)
• Explainability of machine learning in computer security

Application
