Currently, I am the leader of the Computer Networks Group (Netgroup)
at Politecnico di Torino, in the Department of Control and Computer Engineering.
I am also a member of the
Cybersecurity National Laboratory.
I have been working for more than 20 years in the research areas of distributed
systems and software engineering, with a special interest in formal
methods for safety and security of distributed systems.
Current research interests:
- formal verification of cryptographic protocols and security-critical software
- model-driven development and automated generation of safe/secure code from formal protocol descriptions
- formal assurance of network policies in SDN/NFV-based networks
Main recent/current research projects:
I also received two URP Grants from Cisco Systems.
Selected publications (from DBLP)
All publications (with some local downloadable copies) from PORTO (Institutional Repository)
