Senior Scientist at the Swiss Cyber-Defence Campus • Researcher in wireless & systems security: aviation, space & critical infrastructures.
I am a Senior Scientist at the Swiss Cyber Defence Campus, primarily based at ETH Zurich, and a Visiting Fellow of Kellogg College, Oxford. My work focuses on designing and analyzing security protocols for cyber-physical systems in critical infrastructures—aviation, satellites, space, and transportation systems. I also explore privacy issues in global networks, adversarial machine learning, and open-source intelligence.
I received my DPhil in 2016 at Oxford, supervised by Prof. Ivan Martinovic, where I studied the security and privacy of aviation communication technologies. I co-founded the OpenSky Network and coordinate its research activities. My work has received awards from both the aviation and security communities, including the EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship and commendation from the British Computer Society.
