I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science within the PhD Program in Applied Sciences at the University of Molise, Italy.
I earned both my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science (2021) and my Master's degree in Software Systems Security (2023) from the same university.
My academic journey has been shaped by a deep interest in cybersecurity and cryptography, leading to research on advanced cryptographic protocols and access control systems. Currently, I am conducting a six-month research period at Newcastle University as part of my PhD program, under the supervision of Dr. Essam Ghadafi, Senior Lecturer in Cyber Security.
My research focuses on cryptography and access control mechanisms. I am particularly interested in post-quantum cryptography and the design of secure cryptographic protocols based on lattice assumptions.
I have worked on hierarchical key assignment schemes, identity-based matchmaking encryption, and policy analysis for smart home access control systems.
