Mario Bischof

PhD Student in Computer Science

Research interests

• Computational intelligence
• Big Data & Machine Learning
• Human Behavior & Awareness
• IT Security & Penetration Testing

Projects

• Doctoral Research in Computer Science: Automation of digital profiling and social engineering with computational intelligence techniques.

This project is an industry collaboration effort between the University of Fribourg, i.e. the Human-IST institute and Infoguard AG.

In my work, I investigate the possibilities for automating digital profiling and social engineering using computational intelligence techniques and publicly available (OSINT) data. Ultimately, the results of my findings should be merged into a framework used for awareness and educational purposes.
In addition, I also focus on aspects of protection against such methods as well as the ethics of the topic.
