Prof. Dr. Henning Trsek
Professor @ TH OWL | Board Member at inIT
"Even though it is already a long time ago, when I started the international Master in information technology, I do remember this fascinating time quite well. After the MSc, I continued with my PhD at inIT and received it in 2015. Then I went to industry as a Cyber-Security consultant. After very exciting years in industry, I returned to TH OWL as a professor. Now, I am deeply involved in the Master IT, e.g. with the course on network security, and very committed to provide an outstanding learning environment for our students. Hence, I am looking forward to meeting you in Lemgo... "
