Bio
Davide Balzarotti is an Assistant Professor at Eurecom Graduate School and Research Center, located in Sophia Antipolis on the French riviera.
His research interests include most aspects of system security and in particular the areas of intrusion detection and prevention, binary and malware analysis, reverse engineering, and web security.
Before joining Eurecom he spent almost two years in Santa Barbara as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Computer Science at UCSB, working in the Computer Security Lab with professor Giovanni Vigna and professor Richard Kemmerer.
He received his PhD in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2006.
