My research activities are mainly focused on embedded systems. In particular I am interested in security (especially side channel attacks), EDA, operating systems and hardware/software codesign.
During my PhD, I have been collaborating with NEC Labs America (Princeton, NJ, USA), where I have been visiting researcher for fifteen months. Additionally, I have been visiting researcher for six months at COmmunication Security (COSY) of Horst Gortz Institute for IT Security at Ruhr University of Bochum (Bochum, Germany), and visiting researcher for five months at the Laboratoire d'architecture de processeurs at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) under a collaboration grant of European Network of Excellence on High Performance and Embedded Architecture and Compilation.
I am currently Postdoctoral researcher at the Crypto Group of the Université catholique de Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) and at ALaRI Institute of University of Lugano (Lugano, Switzerland).
