Prof. Dr. Björn Scheuermann holds the Chair of Computer Engineering at the HU Berlin. He studied mathematics and computer science in Mannheim, received his doctorate in computer science at the University of Düsseldorf in 2007 and took on a junior professorship for Mobile and Decentralised Networks in 2008.
In 2011, he initially accepted a professorship in telematics at the University of Würzburg and later a professorship for IT security at the University of Bonn, before moving to the HU Berlin in 2012. His interests lie in the design of computer and network systems as well as security and privacy in distributed systems.
