About me
I am an assistant professor of Computer Science at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), working on issues concerning network security and traffic analysis. I am broadly interested in solving the challenges that arise when designing network-based security systems that are performant, effective and usable. I am also a proud member of The Cake Lab, WPI CS' systems, networking & security group. For more information, you can check out my research page, and browse my CV and my publications.
Before WPI, I spent 18 months as Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Colorado State University. Previously, I was a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I achieved my Ph.D. working under the supervision of Somesh Jha. I also hold a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, Italy.
Interested in working on network security?
I am currently looking for capable students. So if you are a current or perspective grad student - or an undergraduate willing to gain research experience - and you are interested in working on network security, feel free to reach out to me!
Current students:
- Tongwei Ren (PhD)
- Ryan LaPointe (MS)
