Since 15.10.2022, Dr Michael Rademacher has taken over the substitute professorship for network security. After completing his Master's degree in computer science, he was the first officially enrolled doctoral student at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences. He completed his dissertation on "Evaluation and Optimisation of IEEE802.11 multi-hop Backhaul Networks with Directional Antennas" with the grade Magna cum laude. Rademacher is looking forward to working with the students.

„I am happy to be able to pass on the findings from my current research activities and projects directly to students.”
