Senior Security Researcher | AI for Security · Vulnerability Research (21+ CVEs) · Android security · Fuzzing · Reverse Engineering
PhD in Computer Science (University of Trento) working at the intersection of security and AI. I find and exploit vulnerabilities, analyze malware, and build LLM/VLM-powered tools for vulnerability analysis, reverse engineering, fuzzing, and threat intelligence.
- 🔬 Focus: AI for security (and AI security), software vulnerability research, reverse engineering, and Android security.
- 🐛 Vulnerability research: 21+ assigned CVEs for memory-safety bugs discovered and responsibly disclosed in widely-used open-source libraries - including the Android framework, Mbedtls, GDAL, libpng, libraw, libvips, libwebsockets, MuPDF, OpenImageIO, and Squirrel.
- 🛠️ Building: VLM-assisted Android GUI fuzzers, LLM reverse-engineering assistants and vulnerability analysis and exploitation, and fine-tuned models for security usecases and threat intel.
- 🎓 Experience: Senior Security Researcher at the Technology Innovation Institute (TII); Researcher at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK); early-career malware analyst.
- 📝 Published at ICSE, MOBILESoft, IEEE SMDS, and in EMSE on Android security.
