About
I joined the Security and Privacy group as a University Researcher in August 2021. My research interests include cryptocurrencies, blockchain interoperability and scalability, off-chain protocols and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Before starting my PhD at TUWien, I have been working for 9 months as a Salesforce developer at Deloitte Digital, Milan, Italy. After my Bachelor in Physics, I have done my Master in Nuclear and Particle Physics at the University of Pavia, Italy. I graduated in 2019 with the thesis Analysis of the pi0 photoproduction in the Delta(1232) region.
