About Me


I am a security researcher working in the cybersecurity field. I started my Ph.D. under the supervision of Silvio Ranise at the University of Genova in November 2018. I am also a member of the Security&Trust unit in Fondanzione Bruno Kessler (FBK), Trento, Italy. I received his M.Sc. degree on Secure Communication from Imamreza International University, Mashhad, Iran in 2015. My research direction in my Ph.D. career is concerned with evaluating cybersecurity risk methodologies, particularly focusing on proposing a multi-stakeholder risk assessment methodology to assist organizations that may impact their business policies due to forced regulations like General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The methodology aims to supports data controllers in making more informed decisions about which security and privacy mechanisms allow for a better trade-off between their requirements and those of the data subjects.
