Biography

I am a research associate (PostDoc) at the Department of Mathematics, University of Padua, Italy under the supervision of Prof. Mauro Conti. I am part of the Security and PRIvacy Through Zeal (SPRITZ) research group and currently working on a European H2020 project, TagItSmart! - Smart Tags driven service platform for enabling ecosystems of connected objects.

I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science Department at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, in February 2017. I was honored to be supervised by Prof. Enrico Tronci on automatic control software synthesis. Besides, I had some involvement in FP7 project SmartHG (Energy Demand Aware Open Services for Smart Grid Intelligent Automation). I got my M.Sc. with the top score in Computer Engineering at the Dezfoul University in September 2012, where I was working on the design and simulate some new bio-inspired schedulers in order to decrease processing time in Grid computing systems with professors Ajith Abraham and Jemal H. Abawajy. Last but not least, I worked with Prof. Mukesh Singhal and Prof. Bahman Javadi on Robust Distributed Routing and scheduling in Distributed systems. Since 2014, I am the membership of IEEE Systems Man and Cybernetics Society Technical Committee on Soft Computing and a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Computer Society representing Europe. In addition, I was Java/C++ programmer and analyzer in several industries projects from 2004-2007.
