I am assistant professor at University of Twente’s Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science with expertise in DNS security and hygiene, DDoS prevention, Internet resilience, and centralization. My research focuses on developing and evaluating practical and effective security solutions for improving the security and resilience of the Internet infrastructure.
When I'm not busy with work, my greatest passion is traveling. I enjoy exploring and discovering new cultures and places, trying new foods, and meeting new people.
