I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at UC Berkeley, working with
Prof. Dawn Song and her research group on system and application security.
From May 2008 to June 2010 I worked at Università degli Studi di Udine as a reasearch assistant, under the supervision of Prof. Furio Ercolessi. My research work was sponsored by The SpamHaus Project, the world largest anti-spam non-profit organization.
From Sep 2006 to May 2008, I was a visiting research scholar at the Department of Computer Science department of the University of Wisconisn–Madison (USA) working on malware analysis and detection under the supervision of Prof. Somesh Jha.
