Who I am?

I am a PhD student of the EDIC program at EPFL, at the same time I form part of the HexHive group, advised by Prof. Mathias Payer. My research focuses on systems security principles and how security-related abstractions can be preserved through all the processing stack. You can find more about myself and my background in my CV.

Background

On summer of 2020 I completed an internship at IBM Research Zurich in the Systems Security group. Previously I have completed a MSc of Computer Science at EPFL and a BSc on Mathematics and Computing at UPM and participated on a summer internship at MIT CSAIL working under the supervision of Prof. Daniel Sánchez on security implications of cache compression.
I have formed part of IMDEA Software Institute as a research intern advised by Prof. Marco Guarnieri, focusing my research on Analysis of countermeasures against speculative execution attacks and Detecting speculative information flows in large code-bases.
I have always enjoyed on playing with the internals and abstractions of nowadays computer systems.
