I am a PhD student at KTH, Stockholm, in the School of Electrical Engineering and its Communication Networks division. My research interests include all aspects of networked systems security and more specifically, security and privacy of vehicular networks, security architectures and infrastructures.

Short biography

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Information Technologies from the department of Computer Science of the University of Rome "Sapienza" in 2008. Continuing the studies in the same department, I obtained in 2011 the Master's Degree with honours in Computer Science with a theis project on "Cognitive WSN access based on local WLAN traffic estimation", developed in the Laboratory of Commiunication Network of KTH Electrical Engineering school, Stockholm, Sweden. Afterwards I joined the security group of LCN as a Research engineer at the beginning of 2012 and later on as a Ph.D student.
