Jan, tell us a bit about yourself. What's your role, and what does a typical day in your life look like?

Well, I am a research assistant of the Cyber Analysis & Defense department of the Fraunhofer FKIE in Bonn, Germany. We are doing a lot of research in the area of malware and firmware analysis, but also digital forensics. So this is currently also my research topic, especially file system forensics.

Besides working on my own research, we are doing a lot of teaching with the University of Bonn and are working closely together with federal agencies for other projects.
