Claudio Soriente PhD student

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 Universityof 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).

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

• Network security
• Sensor networks
• Cryptography

Research experience (or vacations...)

• INRIA Rhône-Alpes from Sep. 2006 until Dec. 2006
• IBM Zurich Research Laboratory from Aug. 2007 until Oct. 2007
• Universitat Rovira i Virgili - UNESCO Chair in Data Privacy from Apr. 2008 until Jun. 2008
• IBM Zurich Research Laboratory from Jul. 2008 until Sept. 2008
• INRIA Rhône-Alpes from Oct. 2008 until Jan. 2009

Current projects (things I’ll never accomplish)
