Felix Fischer is a Principal Data Scientist in Munich with a decade of experience at the intersection of security, privacy, and machine learning, translating academic rigor into production protections. A PhD from TUM, he blends large-scale software repository analysis, static code analysis with deep learning, and human-centered studies to improve how developers and end users make secure choices. At Gen he co-invented and patented an AI Scam Chat Assistant now shipped as Norton Genie with over a million downloads, and continues to integrate LLMs for real-world scam detection. His work has been published and presented at top security and software engineering venues, and he has advised industry leaders like Google DeepMind on cryptographic transparency and explainable AI. Notably, he combines empirical user research with hands-on product engineering—bridging theory, code, and usable security in deployed systems.
