Oliver Schranz is PhD student at the CISPA Helmholtz-Zentrum i.G. at Saarland University and a software engineer and pentester at Backes SRT GmbH (both in Germany). He is passionate about security since his bachelors and now he is happily working on two security-focused jobs, simultaneously collecting experience in academia and industry. His research focuses on providing security and privacy-enhancing solutions for Android that do not rely on custom ROMs or system modifications but can be shipped as regular applications to make sure they actually reach the end user. This research has been presented at major academic security conferences (CCS, USENIX Secrity, EuroS&P;). He is also a proud founding member of the saarsec CTF team of his home university, where they regularly rank high in some of the bigger CTFs (ruCTFe, ruCTF on-site, iCTF).
