I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computer Science at the Department of Informatics of King’s College London, and part of Systems Security Research Lab (S2Lab) and Cybersecurity Group (CYS). I am also the Programme Leader of the MSc in Cyber Security at King’s College London.
My research interests lie at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, with particular focus on intrusion detection, adversarial ML, and systems security.
I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science as a member of WEBLab at University of Modena (Italy) in March 2017, and I spent most of 2016 as a visiting research scholar at University of Maryland, College Park (US). I have then held a two-year PostDoctoral position in the S2Lab in the UK (first at Royal Holloway, University of London, then at King’s College London).
Special Issue I am one of the guest editors of a Special Issue on “Offensive Machine Learning” as part of ACM DTRAP journal. Deadline: July 30th, 2021.
