About me

I am currently working as a Research Engineer at Consensys, specifically as part of the Linea team. I hold a PhD in Cryptography from IT University of Copenhagen (ITU), where I had the chance to be supervised by Bernardo David, join the Center for Information Security and Trust (CISAT) and collaborate as Scientific Partner with Concordium. Moreover, within my PhD studies, I visited TU Darmstadt for one semester, where I had the chance to be supervised by Sebastian Faust and join CROSSING. Here you find my PhD thesis and the deck of slides I used for my defence.

I hold a Master in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (PoliMi) and I have previously worked on research projects at the Department of Mathematics of PoliMi, Osservatori Digital Innovation and at the Business IT Department of ITU.

Beyond that, I worked for two years at Moxoff, that is a PoliMi spin-off aimed at transfering results of applied mathematics research (in particular related to mathematical optimization and statistics) to industry, and as a Freelance Software Engineer.

My current research interests focus on cryptographic protocols for multiparty computation and blockchain applications.

Yet I exist in the hope that these memoirs, in some manner, I know not how, may find their way to the minds of humanity in Some Dimension, and may stir up a race of rebels who shall refuse to be confined to limited Dimensionality. - Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, Edwin Abbott Abbott
