Andreas Müller

Since 2023, I have been a PhD student at the Ruhr University Bochum with generous support by the CASA cluster of excellence in Germany. My current work aims at improving the robustness of watermarking techniques for generative AI.

Previously, I was an internal auditor and data analyst at Volkswagen Group.

I completed my studies at Technical University of Braunschweig, specializing in IT security. During that time, I was also a co-founder and backend developer at AIPARK, which is now called Bliq, as well as a student assistant to Erwin Quiring. I am currently being supervised by Asja Fischer.
