About me

I am a PhD candidate at the Security Group of Eindhoven University of Technology.
My research aims to develop an effective descision support system for SOC analysts. As decision support systems are used by humans instead of machines, my research focuses on SOC analysts and their workflow, and how analysts interact with systems designed to aid their analysis process. I am under the supervision of dr. Luca Allodi.
