Summary
Patrick Stöckle is a research scientist focused on cloud and container security, currently working at Siemens with a PhD from the Technical University of Munich and an MSc/BSc from KIT. He combines over a decade of programming experience with deep academic expertise in IT security and software engineering, including two A* first-author publications. At TUM he led the Security Engineering course for four years and spent another four years on an industry-funded project about security configuration, giving him a rare blend of practical, industrial insight and rigorous research methodology. His background spans applied software development (including mobile apps) and hands-on teaching, so he’s comfortable translating complex security research into usable engineering artifacts. Known for creating and organizing practical exercises and exams, he brings strong mentorship and pedagogy to research teams. Based in Munich, he is particularly adept at bridging academia and industry to produce auditable, production-ready security solutions.
