Biography

I am a Full Professor of Computer Science at the Computer Science Institute of the Universitá del Piemonte Orientale (UPO), where I lead the Distributed Systems Research Lab.

I received the Ph.D in Computer Science and the Laurea degree both from the University of Torino, Italy. Before joining UPO, I have been a Visiting Scholar at the University of California at San Diego, and a post-doctoral researcher at the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and, subsequently, at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Torino, Italy.

My research interests are in the fields of Distributed Systems, Digital Forensics, Cyber Security, and Cyber Crime (the list of my papers is available below). I have served as Program Chair or TPC member of more that 130 international conferences and workshops.

Since 2017 I am the Director of the Local Node of the CINI National Laboratory of Cyber Security.

This is a short list of my most recent publications, organized by topic (the full and updated list of my publications can be found in the official UPO repository).
