I am a Postdoctoral researcher in User-Centred Systems’ Security/Privacy and part of the NetSys Group at the Department of Computing of Imperial College London in Professor Hamed Haddadi’s NetSys Group. I obtained my Ph.D. at Department of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Bologna (Italy) under the supervision of Professor Marco Prandini.

My research interests covers the intersection between security and systems. During my Ph.D., I used programmable data planes to detect Denial of Service attacks and implement in-network computing for data integrity. You can find my publications in my Google Scholar profile. I now work on system compartmentalization to deploy safe and private on-device AI workloads using Trusted Execution Environments like ARM CCA.
