Thomas Popp received a Dipl.-Ing. degree (equivalent to M.Sc.) in computer science ("Telematik") from Graz University of Technology, Austria. He joined the team at IAIK in 2004 and is currently working towards his PhD degree in the field of side-channel attacks on cryptographic devices and related countermeasures.
