Biography
- 2015: Ph.D. in Computer Science from Sapienza University of Rome under the supervision of Prof. Irene Finocchi with the dissertation Input-sensitive performance analysis of software systems.
- 2017-2019: national organizer of the CyberChallenge.IT training program on cybersecurity.
- 2017-present: local organizer of the CyberChallenge.IT training program at Sapienza University of Rome.
- 2020-Present: assistant professor (RTD-A) at Sapienza University of Rome
Funding:
- PRIN 2022 - Project FARE (Firmware Analysis for vulneRability dEtection) - co-PI/head of research unit
- PRIN 2022 PNRR - Project SETA (Studying thE impact of anti-analysis Techniques in IoT security evAluations) - co-PI/head of research unit
Research interest
During my PhD, I focused my work on the study of performance scalability of software systems. After the PhD, I have started to investigate how program analysis techniques, such as symbolic execution and software fuzzing, can be exploited in the context of cybersecurity.
