I was born in Nocera Inferiore (Italy) on January 8, 1980. I received the Laurea degree in Computer Science (advisor Prof. Alfredo De Santis) from University of Salerno in 2004 and since 2005 I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student at the University of California, Irvine (advisor Prof. Gene Tsudik).  I'm a member of the Security and Privacy Research OUTfit (SPROUT). 

From  September 2006 until December 2006  I was at INRIA Rhône-Alpes and from August 2007 until November 2007 I was at IBM Zurich Research Laboratory.

Research interests (I wish I knew what it's all about...)

• Network security
• Sensor networks
• Cryptography

Current Projects (things I’ll never accomplish)

• Data Security in Unattended Wireless Sensor Networks
