Prof. Dr.-Ing. Kalman Graffi ist Professor für Netzwerke, Kommunikationssysteme und Cybersecurity an der Technischen Hochschule Bingen.

Von 2019 bis Ende 2022 war er Principal Scientist und Competence Group Leader für Reliable Systems and Software am Honda Research Institute Europe GmbH. Von 2012 bis 2019 war er W1-Professor für ``Technologie sozialer Netzwerke'' am Institut für Informatik der Universität Düsseldorf in Deutschland. Bevor er 2012 an die Universität Düsseldorf kam, war er wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter in der Gruppe "Theorie verteilter Systeme" an der Universität Paderborn.

Von 2006 bis 2010 war er Doktorand am Multimedia Communications Lab der TU Darmstadt, Deutschland. Im Jahr 2010 promovierte er zum Dr.-Ing. am Fachbereich Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik der Technischen Universität Darmstadt mit summa cum laude ("mit Auszeichnung"). Kalman erhielt 2006 einen Diplomabschluss in Informatik und einen Diplomabschluss in Mathematik von der Technischen Universität Darmstadt. In dieser Zeit erwarb er auch das IT-Sicherheitszertifikat des Kompetenzzentrums für angewandte Sicherheitstechnik (CAST) in Darmstadt.

Arbeitsgebiete

In seiner Position erforscht und lehrt er Protokolle und Mechanismen für komplexe, sichere und selbstverwaltende Kommunikations- und Rechennetzwerke mit verschiedenen Methoden zur Umsetzung dieser Vision. Sein Forschungsschwerpunkt liegt auf dem Aufbau zuverlässiger, sicherer und hochskalierbarer Rechenumgebungen durch dynamische Overlay-Netze, mobile opportunistische Netze, Multiagentensysteme und Argumentationsnetze, in denen autonome, unzuverlässige und heterogene Akteure einen gemeinsamen, zuverlässigen und qualitätskontrollierten Dienst anbieten wollen. Seine Konzepte können in globalen Computernetzwerken, in weiträumigen drahtlosen Mesh- oder opportunistischen Netzwerken sowie für große Nano- oder Roboterschwärme angewendet werden. Mit seiner Forschung zu Confidential Computing lassen sich (Nutzer-)daten unter Einhaltung der Privatsphäre verarbeiten, ohne Kenntniss zu personenbezogenen Informationen zu erhalten.

Lehre

- Kommunikation und Netzwerke

- Netzwerksicherheit

- Studienprojekt und Projektmanagement

Preise und Auszeichnungen

Für seine Arbeit an sicheren und dezentralen Kommunikationsplattformen und deren Auswirkungen auf die Gesellschaft wurde er mehrfach ausgezeichnet. Im März 2015 wurde er von Academics.de mit dem Titel ``Nachwuchswissenschaftler des Jahres 2014'' ausgezeichnet. Im Jahr 2014 wurde er zum Mitglied der Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA) gewählt und 2015 zum ``Junior Fellow'' der Gesellschaft für Informatik ernannt, beides für 5 Jahre. Im Jahr 2016 wurde er zum Mitglied der Jungen Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur | Mainz und des Jungen Forums: Technische Wissenschaften (JF:Tec) gewählt, jeweils für 4 Jahre, gewählt. Er ist Gründungsmitglied des ``Düsseldorfer Instituts für Internet und Demokratie''. Der Dialog mit politischen Aktivisten in der arabischen Welt und darüber hinaus ermöglicht es ihm, die Anforderungen an sichere dezentrale Kommunikationsplattformen aus erster Hand zu erfahren und seine Lösungen dort zu testen, wo sie gebraucht werden.

Projekte

Er hat mehrere Projekte eingeworben, die von der Industrie, der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), dem Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Technologie (BMWi) und dem Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) gefördert wurden. In den Jahren 2016 bis 2019 führte er über die Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA) mehrere Projekte für das Bundesministerium für Forschung und Bildung (BMBF) durch. Die Projekte umfassen Themen wie "Sup-Press: Freedom of Speech under Attack in the EU and Arab World", "Egyptian-German Partnership on Practical Evaluation of Networked Nano-scale Devices", "Academic Matchmaking: Supporting a South-Norh Scolarship Cooperation", "Distant Teaching with Telepresence Robots", "Make a difference: Ideen aus aller Welt", sowie "Twinning for Innovation".

In den Jahren 2014 bis 2018 erhielt er Fördermittel der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft für seine Projekte "Dezentrales Vermssen von hoch skalierbaren Overlay-Netzwerken (OverlayMeter)" und "Aufbau und Routing in opportunistischen Netzwerken mit nicht verwurzelten Android-Smartphones über WiFi und Bluetooth". Gleichzeitig war er Teil des NRW Fortschrittskollegs zum Thema "Online-Partizipation". Von 2015 bis 2016 wurde sein Projekt "P2P-basierte Datensynchronisation zwischen mobilen Geräten in lokalen Netzwerken" zusammen mit Powerfolder (dal33t GmbH) vom Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi) gefördert. In den Jahren 2014 bis 2016 schließlich wurde sein Projekt zur "Konvergenz hierarchischer Overlay-Netzwerke (OverConverge)" durch den Strategischen Forschungsfonds der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf gefördert.


Die Ergebnisse seiner Forschung wurden in mehr als 90 begutachteten wissenschaftlichen Publikationen veröffentlicht, darunter Veröffentlichungen in hochrangigen Zeitschriften wie Elsevier Computer Communications, Springer Peer-to-Peer Networking and and Applications sowie Wiley Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing. Mit über 175 betreuten studentischen Arbeiten und einer Vorlesung über Kommunikationsnetze, Netzsicherheit, mobile Kommunikation, Peer-to-Peer-Systeme und opportunistische Netzwerke hat er die Ergebnisse seiner Forschung an die nächste Generation von Forschern weitergegeben.
