Bio
I am a Senior Research Scientist and Team Leader at Telefonica Research, where I lead the Network and Cloud Security team. My research focuses on the intersection of security, networking and systems. In 2018, I obtained a PhD degree from the COSIC research group (KU Leuven, Belgium) under the supervision of Prof. Bart Preneel and Dr. Dave Singelée. My doctoral thesis, entitled Security and Privacy of Implantable Medical Devices, explored the security and privacy challenges of implantable medical systems. Following my PhD, I held positions as a visiting research fellow at the University of Padua (Italy) and as a research fellow at the University of Birmingham (UK). Throughout my career, I have published research papers in leading Core A/A* venues, including CCS, NDSS, MobiSys, TCHES, ACSAC and Euro S&P. I have also contributed to the acquisition and execution of several national and European research projects, filled several patents, and supervised bachelor’s, master’s and PhD students.
