I'm a senior security data scientist on the protections team at Elastic. I develop machine learning tools for the cybersecurity domain and does research on how to build trustworthy ML-based systems. My research interests include computer security, mobile security, malware analysis and applied machine learning in security. I did my PhD in COmputer SECurity (COSEC) lab at University Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M), Spain. During my PhD, I worked on Android application triage, malware detection, and characterization. Before joining Elastic, I was a postdoctoral research associate in the Systems Security Lab (SecLab) and a Part-Time lecturer at Northeastern University in Boston. During this period, I conducted extensive research on detecting code reuse in advanced malware being used by different campaigns in targeted attacks. I've also taught cybersecurity courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
