Biography

I am a PhD student at Politecnico di Torino, with a great passion for cybersecurity and data analytics, especially applied in the context of Web technologies.
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering in 2022 from Politecnico di Torino, where I built a strong foundation for programming and system design. I built onto these foundations during my Master's degree, completed in 2024, where I specialized in cybersecurity.
My research lies at the intersection of privacy, data analytics and the Web, where I analyse existing Internet privacy solutions and attempt to develop new innovative strategies to improve online privacy and security. I conduct my research at the SmartData@PoliTO research lab, where I collaborate with fellow PhD students and researchers.
