Research
During my Master’s degree, I investigated the security of blockchain-based systems and developed automated tools for detecting bugs in Ethereum smart contracts. Now, my primary research interest lies in the intersection of machine learning and cybersecurity, studying vulnerabilities of machine learning systems, as well as how to apply machine learning techniques to solve security problems.
