My research interests lie in the fields of security in social networks, trust-aware design of distributed systems, device-centric authentication and federated ID, large scale data processing, discrimination based on web personal data, and disinformation. I have published papers in the most influential conferences and journals of Networked Systems, including ACM SIGCOMM, USENIX NSDI, IEEE INFOCOM, ACM IMC, AAAI ICWSM, and ACM Transactions on Networking. I have extensive experience in EU-funded projects. Specifically, I was the technical manager of the ReCRED project (Horizon 2020 Innovation Action - 2014) and I am the coordinator of the ENCASE project (Horizon 2020 Marie Curie RISE - 2015).
