Long Bio
I’m a Computer and Automation Engineer currently enrolled in the PhD program in computer science in the field of Cyber-Security and working as a graduate research assistant.
I've 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 Systems for faults detection" 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 & resilient distributed cyber physical 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 in federated learning. My interest spans also in quantum computing computing looking at the next generation of distributed quantum computing systems.
I am also actively engaged in exploring the Edge-to-Cloud Continuum Architecture, particularly in the context of secure and distributed computation.
