- Deputy head of the center for secure energy informatics
- Research interest: Privacy in the smart grid with 2 main parts
Privacy analyses
analyze the information that can be obtained from load profiles using primarily methods from machine learning, statisticsor whatever is useful
Privacy enhancing technologies
- Here, the focus in the past was on privacy-preserving data aggregation using homomorphic encryption, masking, differential privacy and wavelet analysis.
- Now the focus shifts to (i) tariffs and privacy-preserving price calculation and (ii) application of methods in order strictly proof privacy-preserving properties of proposed privacy-preserving protocols.
