Mathias Ibsen

Former Position: Researcher

CV

Mathias Ibsen was a researcher with the da/sec group at the Faculty of Computer Science, Hochschule Darmstadt, Germany. He worked on the EU-funded TReSPAsS-ETN project with the detection of manipulated face images. Subsequently, he worked as part of the German National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity (ATHENE). In November 2024, he successfully defended his PhD thesis.
