Research

When I have some time, I do some research. My research revolves around unikernels, operating systems, memory forensic, binary analysis, assembly code, reverse engineering and linkers/loaders.

Others

In addition to my research, I'm also maintainer and developer of Unikraft.
Finally, I also collaborate with different faculties to gather scientific results by developing IT applications.
