Biography

I am currently an assistant professor at the University of Twente, in the Semantics, Cybersecurity and Services Group. Previously, I was a postdoc in the Digital Security Group at Radboud University in Nijmegen from January to November 2022, in the Cyber Security Group at Delft University of Technology from March 2020 to December 2021, and at the University of Milano-Bicocca from January 2018 to February 2020. I did my PhD in Computer Science between December 2014 and December 2017 at the University of Milano-Bicocca and the Université Côte d’Azur, under a double degree agreement. I defended my PhD thesis in March 2018, graduating with honours. Before entering the PhD program, I spent a one-year period in 2014 at Consorzio Milano Ricerche as a graduate research fellow. I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Computer Science from the University of Milano-Bicocca respectively in 2010 and 2013.
