I am a PhD student in the Computer Security Group (COMSEC) at ETH Zurich, where I research new principled systems to tackle vulnerabilities often overlooked by current heuristic models, especially those at the intersection of hardware and software. Every now and then, I might even tinker with these vulnerabilities to create novel attacks, all in the name of scientific progress, of course.
Before joining COMSEC in 2025, I earned both my BSc and MSc in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at ETH Zurich, where I developed a strong foundation in computer security, digital circuit design, operating systems, and compilers.
