My research focuses on web security, software security, language-based security, IoT security, and location privacy. I lead a team of researchers, engaged in a number of EU and national projects and collaborations with industry including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and SAP.

My (about 100) papers are published in venues that include conference flagships IEEE Security & Privacy, ACM CCS, and PETS, and journal flagships IEEE TDSC and ACM TISSEC. Most recent:

• Data Privacy in Trigger-Action Systems (S&P'21)
• Black Widow: Blackbox Data-driven Web Scanning (S&P'21)
• HMAC and "Secure Preferences": Revisiting Chromium-based Browsers Security (CANS'20)
• Where are you Bob? Privacy-Preserving Proximity Testing with a Napping Party (ESORICS'20)
