Decode my Geek here (if interested)

I was born in Bisceglie (Bari), Puglia, south of Italy, and lived with my parents for 18 years in Molfetta. After five years of Liceo Scientifico di Stato, during which I was more concentrated on the basics of computer science I moved to Milan to attend courses at Politecnico di Milano, faculty of Computer Engineering.
After 6 years in Milan I learned (almost) all the aspects of life as a single (sometimes) and as a couple as well. That was definitely one of the best periods of my life!
On October 5th I earned the B.S. degree in Computer Engineering and, a bit exhausted of theoretical stuff, I decided to earn the Master Degree (Laurea Specialistica). Other two years of studies were not that hard as i thought.
I waited six months more before graduating, to subscribe to the Erasmus Project selection at the same university, to have a an experience abroad, as a student.
From August 2007 to March 2008 I developed my Master Thesis at Katholieke Universiteit in Leuven (Belgium). This experience changed my life, definitely better. I earned the MEng. in Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Milano on April 24th 2008

Although computer programming has been my favourite activity, I noticed that my studies were bringing me towards another direction. My master degree is closer to Artificial Intelligence than pure Computer Science. But I’ve always been open to all the related topics, when it comes to Computer Science.

Currently, I am a PhD. student at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, working at DISTRINET Research Group. The official title for the project I am involved in is Research in designing countermeasures for buffer overflows and related vulnerabilities in desktop and mobile systems.

My favourite hobby is photography, a bit expensive for a student, but definitely the most powerful tool to express yourself. My second website is indeed a photo blog (with very few words!).
What about music? I love jazz, classic rock, classical music and… techno, minimal and electro music.
