Martina Lindorfer

Bio & Research Interests

I am an Associate Professor in the Security and Privacy Research Unit at TU Wien (Technische Universität Wien, formerly known as Vienna University of Technology) heading the Secure Systems Lab (SecLab) in Vienna, Austria. I am also a key researcher at SBA Research, the largest research center in Austria which exclusively addresses information security.

Before that, I was a Postdoc in the Computer Security Group (SecLab) at UC Santa Barbara, working with Christopher Kruegel and Giovanni Vigna. I received my doctorate in 2016 with honors of the Austrian president (Promotio Sub Auspiciis Praesidentis), as well as the ERCIM Cor Baayen Young Researcher Award in 2018. During my PhD, I was advised by Edgar Weippl and worked as a research assistant at the International Secure Systems Lab (iSecLab).

In addition to my PhD, I hold a Master's degree in Software Engineering and Internet Computing from TU Wien and a Bachelor's degree in Computer and Media Security from the University of Applied Sciences in Hagenberg.

My research focuses on systems security, in particular mobile security and privacy, and all things malware analysis.
