Education
Starting as student of the german high school "Hindenburg Gymnasium" in the town of Trier, now renamed to "Humboldt Gymnasium", Bernard left this school after the 9th grade and switched to the french high school "Lycée George de La Tour" in Metz, France to complete his high school diploma. This diploma called Baccalauréat scientifique with option mathematics was chosen and the last three years were dedicated to natural science especially biology and mathematics due to the high interest for it. Although this diploma include philosophy and a dissertation which awakened a passion.
After a few years, the decision was made to start studies to become an engineer for informatics (Dipl.-Ing Informatik) at the University of Trier and concentrating on algorithms, geometrical algorithm and data structures. As major part of the university diploma, cryptography and security became the other substantial part of the studies and led to the diploma dissertation about a distributed game which communication had to be secure in a network controlled by the attacker.
The idea of graduating as Ph.D. was always worth a though but a quick start into work was priorized. This does not mean it can not become a upcoming achievement.
