Curriculum Vitae

Prof. Erik Buchmann
I research and teach in the intersection of the topics "Data Privacy", "IT Security", "Machine Learning" and "Big Data". Since April 1st. 2022, I am head of the "Data Privacy and Security" group at the University of Leipzig.

My approach to this topics is unique so far: I strive to teach a very broad range of technical knowledge, that can be used to assess and to solve data privacy and data security problems in cloud architectures and cloud applications, specifically with regard to machine learning. In particular, i am interested in a vertical approach that addresses data protection and IT security from compliance issues and business processes to architectural questions, algorithms and data management.

Curriculum Vitae Erik Buchmann received his PhD in the research area of collaborative peer-to-peer data structures from the Technical University of Magdeburg, Germany, in 2006. From 2007 to 2015, he was head of the young researcher group "Privacy Awareness in Information Systems" at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. He was a visiting lecturer at Technical University of Kaiserslautern, and a substitute professor and visiting researcher at Technical University of Saarbrücken. Since 2016, Erik Buchmann has been a full professor at Hochschule für Telekommunikation Leipzig, responsible for the group "Data Privacy and Security in Information Systems". In the same year, he completed his habilitation at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Since April 2022, Erik Buchmann is head of the group for data privacy and security at the University of Leipzig.
Research Profile Privacy and security issues in the Internet of Things, i.e., on highly distributed systems with complex system architectures, that send erroneous, incomplete, location- and context-sensitive, personal sensor data to cloud platforms for further processing via big-data machine learning approaches.

I am really into bicycle travel. I am referring to real trips in high mountains, and without engines, support cars or luggage service ;-)
The next buttons lead to some pictures and travel descriptions, mostly in German. If you like to read the texts, Google Translate does quite a good job.
