Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Scherb is a cybersecurity professor and software architect with 13 years of experience bridging academic research and production-grade open source development. Currently a lecturer at FHNW, he previously led research and teaching at the University of Basel where he focused on software security, future internet architectures, and decentralization of the web. He has designed and maintained influential research codebases such as CCN-lite and PiCN, translating cutting-edge networking concepts into practical implementations. Christopher combines a PhD in computer science with hands-on software engineering—ranging from computer vision algorithms to distributed network stacks—making him equally comfortable in lecture halls and repository maintainership. Based in Switzerland, he’s known for turning theoretical problems into reproducible software artifacts that drive both teaching and research forward.
