Speakers
Trainer's Profile:
Prof. Dr. Daniel Loebenberger, Heads of Secure Infrastructure Department, Fraunhofer Singapore & Fraunhofer AISEC
Daniel received his doctorate in cryptography from the University of Bonn in 2012, where he conducted research and taught until the end of 2015. In January 2019, he was appointed Fraunhofer Endowed Professor of Cybersecurity at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied and Integrated Security AISEC, where he heads the "Secure Infrastructure" department. Professor Loebenberger's resarch focuses on topics of applied post-quantum cryptography and quantum-safe infrastructures. He is currently working on the QUASAR project (25/09–29/03) at the NTU-Fraunhofer Singapore Research Centre at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. QUASAR addresses various aspects of applied (post-)quantum technologies and is funded by the National Research Foundation of Singapore.
