Intro
I am an Assistant Professor at The University of Iowa in the Computer Science Department.
Before joining The University of Iowa, I was a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of California, Santa Barbara, advised by Professor Giovanni Vigna and Professor Christopher Kruegel. Before starting my Ph.D., I received a Master degree in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Milano and a Master degree in Computer Science from University of Illinois at Chicago.

Research Interests
My research interest lies in the area of Computer Security. My primary focus is in the field of security of mobile devices.
In particular, I am interested in identifying novel security issues in these devices and applying both static and dynamic analysis techniques to detect vulnerable and malicious mobile apps automatically. I am also interested in developing new methods to analyze compiled binary code.
More recently, I started exploring the security issues posed by IoT devices and their interaction with mobile applications.
As a core member of the Shellphish team, I played and organized many security competitions (typically called CTF), and I won the third place at the DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge.
