Johannes Krupp

Based in Saarbrücken

Johannes Krupp is a researcher at the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security in Saarbrücken, Germany. He joined CISPA as a Ph.D. candidate after receiving a bachelor degree in computer science from Saarland University in 2014. His research on DDoS attacks and attack attribution has been recognized by the academic community with publications at RAID and CCS.

Andreas Reuter

Based in Berlin

Andreas Reuter studied Computer Science and Mathematics at Freie Universität Berlin, where he completed his Master's thesis on measuring RPKI deployment on the Internet. He continues his research as a PhD student and research assistant at the Internet Technologies working group at the Freie Universität. He is primarily interested in Internet Backbone Security, in particular the RPKI.

Emile Aben

Based in Amsterdam, NL

I'm a system architect/research coordinator at the RIPE NCC, where I work in the science group. I'm a chemist by training, but have been working since 1998 on Internet related things, as a sysadmin, security consultant, web developer and researcher. I am interested in technology changes (like IPv6 deployment), Internet measurement, data analysis, data visualisation, sustainability and security. I'd like to bring research and operations closer together, ie. do research that is operationally relevant. When I'm not working I like to make music (electric guitar, bass and drums), do sports (swimming, (inline) skating, bouldering, soccer), and try to be a good parent.

Giovane Moura

Based in Arnhem, The Netherlands

Giovane is a Data Scientist with SIDN Labs (.nl registry) and Guest Researcher at TU Delft, in the Netherlands. He works on security and Internet measurements research projects. Prior to SIDN, he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Delft University of Technology, in The Netherlands. He obtained his Ph.D. degree with Prof. Aiko Pras at the University of Twente, also in the Netherlands, with focus on both active and passive Internet measurements. His research interests include Internet Measurements, Management, Security and Machine Learning applications. You can reach him at http://giovane-moura.nl/

Jordi Paillissé Vilanova

Based in Barcelona

Jordi Paillissé received his degree in Telecommunications Engineering (2013) from the Technical University of Catalonia (Spain). He has been a visiting student in École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland). He is currently a PhD candidate in Computer Architecture at the Technical University of Catalonia. His main research interests are future Internet architectures, Software-Defined Networking and blockchain applications for the Internet.

Vesna Manojlovic

Vesna Manojlovic is Community Builder at RIPE NCC. Vesna joined the RIPE NCC as a Trainer in 1999. In 2003, she took responsibility for developing and delivering advanced courses, such as RPSL, Routing Registry, DNSSEC and IPv6. In 2008, she lead efforts to establish IPv6 RIPEness as a measure of IPv6 deployment among LIRs. In 2011, she joined the Science Division as Manager of the Measurements Community Building team; in 2015 she moved to Communications Department as Senior Community Builder, with a focus on organising hackathons. Vesna gives presentations at many technical conferences and workshops, and enjoys visiting hackerspaces. Vesna received a Batchelor of Sciences Degree in Computer Science and Informatics from the School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade. She has three children.

Gergana Petrova

Gergana Petrova is External Relations Officer at the RIPE NCC. As part of the External Relations team, she helps lead the RIPE NCC's engagement with a broad range of stakeholders, including the RIPE NCC membership, the RIPE community, government, law enforcement and other Internet stakeholders. Gergana also coordinates the RIPE Academic Cooperation Initiative (RACI) – an initiative that connects researchers and academics with the RIPE community. Previously, Gergana worked as Conference Coordinator at the RIPE NCC, organising the biannual RIPE Meeting. The RIPE Meeting is the main event during which members of the RIPE community meet to discuss current technical and policy issues, share experiences and best practices and develop a network of peers. Gergana also organised the regional ENOG and SEE meetings and helped build the local communities there. Originally from Bulgaria, Gergana studied in Germany before relocating to the Netherlands. Gergana has a Masters in Business Research.
