Title

Technical Assistant to Alessandro Curioni, VP IBM Research Europe & Africa

Bio

I am a Research Staff Member at IBM Research Zurich. Before joining the lab in 2019, I was a Postdoc at TU Darmstadt and ENS Paris. I obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, in 2016.

My research focuses on the security of cryptographic protocols, with a special interest in real-life security threats to key exchange protocols and password authentication.
