About

I am a PhD student of Information Systems and Computer Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) and a researcher at the Group of Distributed Systems of INESC-ID Lisboa. My research interests are on Vulnerability Detection, Analysis and Exploit Generation for Web Applications. I am also interested in Data Science (Machine Learning and AI), as well as Computer Forensics. Additionally, I am a co-founding member of Security Team at Técnico (STT), a security oriented team for solving cyber-security challenges at Capture The Flag (CTF) events.
