I am an associate professor in the Computer Science Department at NCSU, and a member of the Wolfpack Security and Privacy Research Lab. My research interests are in Cryptography. I received my PhD from University of Salerno supervised by Ivan Visconti. Subsequently, I had two PostDoc appointments at UCLA and BU/NEU supervised by Rafail Ostrovsky, Ran Canetti, Daniel Wichs .
Support. My research is supported by NSF, Horizen, Protocol Labs and Cisco & Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
