Lasse Blumenthal

PhD Candidate
in the Cyber Threat Intelligence Lab

I am a passionate cybersecurity researcher, currently pursuing my PhD with a focus on both technical and educational aspects of cyber security. My research explores BGP usage in the area of DDoS mitigation. On the educational side, I work on Cyber Ranges, Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, and innovative teaching methods to enhance cybersecurity education.

My motivation is driven by a desire to deep dive into complex challenges, create valuable contributions for the community, and improve cybersecurity education to better prepare the next generation of professionals.
