BIOGRAPHY

Cornelius works on distributed systems, incentive mechanisms, and privacy-preserving technology. Prior to embarking on his Ph.D. research, Cornelius received a Master’s degree in Systems Engineering from the Munich University of Applied Sciences. He graduated with a Master’s Thesis on distributed role-based access control. Since then, he held a position at Mercedes Benz. Through his work on UAV communication systems at ESG, he started appreciating the superior resilience of distributed structures and shortly after became a decentralization advocate. Since then, he has been involved in decentralization projects in the automotive industry and contributed to the field of distributed identity management and distributed similarity detection.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Cornelius Ihle focuses on decentralised systems that can be used to detect copyright infringements and plagiarisms in the corporate and academic sector.
