Fridolin finished his Joint Bachelor in Sociology and Computer Science by researching the usage of programmable data planes to evaluate network functions with nano second precision under heavy load. Following to that, he received his Masters Degree in Computer Science at TU Darmstadt with the topic "QoS-aware State Migration of 5G RAN Functionality to Improve Network Resilience" in 2022.
