Daniele Cono D'Elia
Biography
I am an Assistant Professor with the Department of Computer, Control, and Management Engineering (DIAG) "Antonio Ruberti" at Sapienza University of Rome. I am part of the research group led by Leonardo Querzoni and of the CIS Sapienza Research Center of Cyber Intelligence and Information Security.
I obtained my PhD in 2016 with a dissertation on adaptive program optimization later awarded and published as a book. In 2014 I was a visiting researcher at Purdue University working with Jan Vitek.
I often speak at Black Hat events (EU 2019, EU 2020, USA 2021). I was also behind CyberChallenge.IT in its early days. I'm a road cyclist and traveler. Please refer to my more up-to-date personal webpage for my recent activities.
Research interest
My work spans across several fields of software and systems security. I play with malware, monitoring solutions in presence of adversaries, and program analyses and transformations to make programs more secure (e.g., fuzzing, side channel elimination, code reuse defenses, program obfuscation).
