Short Bio

Graduated in Informatical Engeneering in november 2004, at the University of Florence, Italy. My master thesis was focused on authentication protocols for wireless mesh networks.

After my graduation I've been working on that topic together with the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications and Telecom Italia, from that period three papers and a patent have been produced. Later on I've worked on other aspects of wireless security, and in 2007 I've started a PhD on security for distributed networks ending fall 2009.

I've been responsible for several projects and master thesis all of them focused on network security or related issues in distributed networks.
