Research Assistant & MSE Student in Information & Cyber Security
I'm a Research Assistant at FHNW's Institute of Mobile and Distributed Systems, where I work on detecting configuration errors in IT and OT networks, while pursuing a Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) in Information and Cyber Security with a focus on fuzzing and symbolic execution.
Before that, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at the University of Basel.
Outside of research, I like tinkering with Linux, trying out new tools and frameworks, and chipping away at side projects in my free time.
Website for Club Volo Libero Ticino, a paragliding club in Ticino, Switzerland — with a modern design and a content management system the club maintains itself.
Speeds up symbolic execution by using taint analysis to prioritize the inputs that matter most.
Automatically generates ranking lists for Swissleague XC-Cup paragliding events by pulling flight data from XContest.
A custom Linux shell built as an OS project, with tiling-window-manager-style controls for juggling multiple shells and jobs.
A lightweight Rust CLI for time tracking. I contributed concurrent-session support, topic-based filtering, and various bug fixes.
The AFL++ project's Rust fuzzing library. I'm adding concolic-execution support so it can analyze binary-only libraries starting from a custom entry point.
