In July 2020, Dr. Antonio Faonio, joined EURECOM as an Assistant Professor at the Digital Security department. Below, he shares what he brings to the department with his expertise in cryptography. Q. What is your academic trajectory? AF. I did my PhD at Sapienza University of Rome in Cryptography, advised…

In the complex interplay between voice authenticity and the imperative of user privacy, Dr Massimiliano Todisco is at the forefront of security at EURECOM. Specialising in audio and voice technologies, he is dedicated not only to preserving authenticity but also the confidentiality of user data. Balancing the challenges of sound…

Researchers in security mainly try to first identify vulnerabilities and bugs in operating systems and craft attacks, by being in the shoes of the attacker, since “Defense is the art of attacking”. The next step is to propose remedies to fix these bugs. Let’s follow EURECOM’s professor Simone Aonzo, an…

Q. Could you describe briefly your academic trajectory and working experience so far? AP. I completed my master’s degree from the Institute of Science in Bengaluru in 2008. I then began my doctoral studies in electrical engineering at the University of Michigan, focusing on classical information theory and communication theory…

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought numerous advances in different fields, including healthcare and transportation. However, as AI continues to evolve and become more pervasive, concerns about its reliability and accuracy have arisen. The recent incidents involving self-driving cars and their inability to recognize certain objects and situations…

Deepfake technology is an AI-software able to create a computer-generated version of a subject’s face, based on a source picture of the subject and a driving video. Deepfake technology has been advancing rapidly during the last few years, shifting the potential of these manipulated videos far from the original entertainment…

Q. Could you describe briefly your academic trajectory and working experience so far? SA. I studied computer science at the University of Genoa and graduated in 2015, specialising in the Android operating system with a focus on assistance security.

In the context of future generation wireless networks, reducing transmission load is crucial for communications in practice. To achieve that, a necessary approach is to focus on the fundamental theoretical foundations of such networks. EURECOM’s Professor Derya Malak, was awarded an ERC starting grant, for her project SENSIBILITÉ, in order…

In the context of communication networks, the use of caching is a fundamental ingredient for handling the exponential growth in data volumes [1]. In computing, a cache is a storage layer typically used in a transient fashion, mainly aiming to access and serve requested data much faster than with the…
