Summary
Marvin Damschen is a Cybersecurity Team Lead and Ph.D. computer scientist with nine years of experience securing and certifying complex, software‑intensive systems across automotive, railway, maritime, and industrial domains. He combines hands‑on prototyping (ROS2, PX4, C/C++, Qt, CANopen) with strategic leadership, having directed multiple EU-funded projects (>1M€ budgets, teams of 15+) and led RISE’s dependable transport research efforts. Marvin helps organizations align product development with regulatory and technical frameworks (NIS 2, CRA, ISO 21434, IEC 62443, ISO 26262) while integrating functional safety and emerging AI safety practices (ISO PAS 8800, ISO 21448). His work spans end-to-end implementation—from building autonomous forestry and agricultural vehicle prototypes to designing virtually coupled train systems—and he brings rare cross-domain insight linking academic rigor with industry-ready solutions. Based in Gothenburg, he is known for turning advanced research into deployable systems and pragmatic compliance strategies that de‑risk innovation.
