About
Hello, I am Max. I completed my PhD in Applied Informatics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). My research focused on the interaction between user experience and information security, with particular emphasis on digital identity wallets. Prior to my PhD, I studied Business Informatics at the bachelor’s and master’s level and worked as a software developer. My interests cover a wide range of topics in computer science, business informatics, and related disciplines.
