Ralph Holz is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Münster. He also holds a part-time appointment at the University of Twente.
He works in computer networks and security. His research interests revolve around understanding and improving security on the Internet, taking an empirical approach. At the moment, he works on
- Global-scale measurement of Internet service deployments and their security
- Empirical analysis of security technology
- Implications for policy and governance of technology
He views his work through the lens of real-world implications. The tech is not always what matters—it’s the embedding in our world that makes it meaningful. Hence, he works with other disciplines and industry alike to make the Internet a safer, more secure, and altogether more interesting and useful place.
