Eduard Marin

Researcher at Telefonica Research

Bio

I am a Research Scientist at Telefonica Research, focusing on research problems at 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 is entitled Security and Privacy of Implantable Medical Devices. 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 several papers in Core A/A* conferences such as CCS, NDSS, MobiSys, TCHES, ACSAC and Euro S&P. Besides, I have contributed to the acquisition and execution of several national and European projects, worked on ideas that led to four patents, and have successfully supervised several bachelor, master’s and Ph.D. students. Currently, my work focuses on the security of new networking and computing paradigms and arquitectures such as Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualisation (NFV), programmable data planes (e.g., through P4), containers (and similar sandboxes), confidential computing and serverless computing.
