I am a former Research Associate in Cyber Security at NEC Laboratories Europe, Heidelberg, Germany.
I graduated in 2024 from Edinburgh Napier University with an MSc in Advanced Security & Digital Forensics (Distinction, NCSC Certified). My master’s dissertation focused on the Behavioural Analysis of Current Evolution Ransomware Attack Exfiltration Methods, and I also worked as a Teaching Assistant for the MSc module Computer Penetration Testing, supporting students in hands-on lab exercises.
In 2022, I earned my BSc in Computer Science from the University of Milan, where I participated in CyberChallenge, Italy’s first national cybersecurity training program, and was selected as one of six team members to compete at the national level.
I am deeply passionate about cybersecurity and cryptography, with particular interests in Penetration Testing, Digital Forensics, and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). I am driven by curiosity and a desire to understand complex systems in depth, which motivates me to explore new research directions and improve existing security solutions. In my free time, I enjoy tackling CTFs and A/D challenges, and developing scripts to solve problems using Python, JavaScript, C, and Java.
