Research
-
Since October 2008, I've been a PhD student in the Systems and Security Group at Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, working under the supervision of Prof. Andrew S. Tanenbaum.
My doctoral research is in the scope of the ERC project "Research on really reliable and secure systems software".
My research interests span across several aspects of systems, including security, reliability, and scalability.
Currently, I'm looking at live update and crash recovery in operating systems. In my spare time, I have also found the time to work on malware analysis and detection techniques, eventually co-authoring a number of papers on the subject.
