About me

For a long time, my background has led me to the field of Information Security. I believe that technology should be used to overcome the limitations we have as human beings in order to enhance our experience in our daily lives. However, criminals throughout the globe do not necessarily agree with such a premise and use the technological advancements for nefarious purposes. Because of these ill-intended people, an entire field has evolved, which aims to figure out how to secure the technological environment in which we live today. A fundamental goal of this field is to preserve the security and privacy of the end-users. In particular, the research I conduct focuses on the security and privacy of cyber-physical systems, more specifically industrial control systems and the internet of things.

Looking into the future, I believe that incorporating machine learning in an information security implementation can bring an exciting outcome. To the best of my knowledge, the current trend of machine learning applications within the information security field revolves around the usage of machine learning to implement sophisticated anomaly detection schemes. However, I have the conviction that this is just the most intuitive application, and we have yet to discover the true potential of machine learning in this field.
