Long Bio
I’m a Computer Science and Automation Engineer currently enrolled in the PhD program in computer science in the field of cybersecurity and working as a graduate research assistant.
I got my Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree from the University of Ferrara in Italy.
During that period I acquired several knowledge in computer science, automation and electronics engineering.
I worked as a research scholar at the Maha Fluid Power Research Center at the Purdue University for the final project of my Master studies on the topic "Machine Learning applied to Cyber Physical System" under the supervision of the Dr. Professor Andrea Vacca.
I am also strongly passionate about Business and Entrepreneurship and for this reason I have increased my knowledge in these fields of study during the last years with experiences and education.
Nowadays I am working at the STAM center of the School Computing & Augmented Intelligence
(Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering) under the supervision of the Dr. Professor Michel A. Kinsy in the Greater Phoenix Area.

Research Interests
My research interests span various domains within cybersecurity.
I primarily delve into secure distributed systems, emphasizing the security and fault tolerance aspects of consensus algorithms.
Additionally, my focus extends to secure operating systems, where I explore measures to safeguard the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of computer systems.
Within this domain, I also investigate attack detection and protection in distributed environments, employing various techniques, including secure and private machine learning methods.
Beyond that, my research encompasses secure data analysis and distribution. I am also actively engaged in exploring the Edge-to-Cloud Continuum Architecture, particularly in the context of Cloud Mobile Computing."
