M.Sc. Holger Mandry

I studied Information System Technology at the University of Ulm where I received my B.Sc. degree in 2015 and my M.Sc. in Mai 2018. During the Master I focused on Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and wrote my thesis "Entwurf und Implementierung einer vollständig modularisierten PUF-Codierungskette auf einem SoC" at the Institute of Microelectronics.

Since August 2018 I am working as research assistant towards the Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing Maurits Ortmanns. In my research I focus on the improvement of mixed-signal PUF implementations.
