Ulrike Meyer (born January 23, 1973 in Leutkirch im Allgäu ) is a German computer scientist and has been a university professor in the IT security department in the Faculty of Mathematics , Computer Science and Natural Sciences at RWTH Aachen University since mid-August 2008 .

Career

Meyer grew up in Villingen in the Black Forest and initially enrolled for two semesters to study psychology , until she began studying mathematics with a minor in economics at the University of Heidelberg in October 1994 and completed a thesis on the subject of "body of standards" in January 2001. completed. From December 2001 to December 2005 she worked as a doctoral candidate with Johannes Buchmann at the " Chair for Theoretical Computer Science - Cryptography and Computer Algebra " in the Computer Science Department at TU Darmstadt . From January 2001 to December 2004 she was funded as a scholarship holder in the graduate college "System integration for ubiquitous computing in information technology " of the DFG . From March 2004 to November 2005 she spent several research stays with Susanne Wetzel at the Stevens Institute of Technology (SIT) in Hoboken (New Jersey) , for which she received financial support from the DFG as part of the graduate college scholarship, from the DAAD through a short-term scholarship for doctoral students and from "Wireless Network Security Center" (WiNSeC) at SIT. In 2005 she was awarded a PhD in computer science at the TU Darmstadt with a dissertation on "Secure Roaming and Handover Procedures in Wireless Access Networks " . PhD. After a research activity from 2006 to 2008 in the field of "Secure Mobile Communication Networks " at Siemens and Nokia Siemens Networks in Munich , she accepted the call to the computer science department at RWTH Aachen University in mid-August 2008 .

Her research area IT security and the associated professorship was newly established in the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences as part of the “Ultra High Speed ​​Mobile Information and Communication” (UMIC) cluster of excellence . Ulrike Meyer's research focus is on security in wireless and mobile networks.

In 2010, Ulrike Meyer's team, consisting of 20 computer science students from RWTH Aachen University, prevailed against the competition from 43 university teams from all over the world in a competition on IT security at the Ural State University .
