Laurin Brandner

I am Laurin, a first-year PhD student in the Networked Systems Group lead by Prof. Dr. Laurent Vanbever. My research focuses on the network stack of the end hosts.

For my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree, I studied Computer Science at ETHZ. I have also spent a semester abroad, at École Polytechnique in Paris. Prior to my studies I developed iOS apps at SwiftKey and Ubique, and during my studies I worked at Pallon.
