I am an assistant professor at the Computer Science department in ETH Zurich. I lead the Secure & Trustworthy Systems (SECTRS) group. I am a member of the Institute of Information Security and the ZISC Center.

My research is broadly at the intersection of trusted computing, system security, and program analysis. My group focuses on foundational aspects of security to protect phones, servers, and accelerators as well as practical aspects of realizing these solutions by building large systems.

My group has several open positions, see SECTRS group page.
