Short Bio

Currently, I'm a postdoctoral researcher in Cybersecurity with the Department of Information and Communication Engineering at the University of Murcia, Spain,

I received the PhD cum laude from the University of Murcia, Spain, and the M.Sc. degree cum laude in Computer Engineering from the University of Naples "Federico II", Italy. My Master thesis is the result of a great Erasmus experience at the NEC Labs. EU, where I worked as a student in the SEC Group.

My research interests include, but are not limited to, Cybersecurity and cyberdefense, and more specifically Cyber Range and Simulation Platforms, IoT Security, Intrusion Detection and Response Systems, and Security Information and Event Managment.

Thanks to my relational skills, I'm ease in adapting to heterogeneous work team. I'm curious and determinated, always trying to improve myself personally and professionally.
