short Bio

Alessandro Armando is professor at the University of Genoa, where he received his Laurea degree in Electronic Engineering in 1988 and his Ph.D in Electronic and Computer Engineering in 1994. His appointments include a postdoctoral research position at the University of Edinburgh (1994-1995) and one as visiting researcher at INRIA-Lorraine in Nancy (1998-1999).

He has been co-founder and director of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (AI-Lab) at DIST (2003-2011), of the Security and Trust Research Unit at the Center for Information Technologies of Bruno Kessler Foundation in Trento (2010-2016), and of the Computer Security Laboratory (CSec) at DIBRIS. He is co-founder of the Talos, a spin-off of DIBRIS focused on Cybersecurity.

He has been founder and director (Presidente del Comitato di Gestione) of the Master Universitario di II Livello on ``Cyber Security and Data Protection’’ of the University of Genova for the academic years 2014/2015 and 2016/2017.

He has contributed to the discovery of a vulnerability on the SAML-based Single Sign-On for Google Apps, an authentication flaw in emerging SSO protocols (namely SAML SSO v2.0 and OpenID), and a vulnerability that leads to a Denial of Service attack on all Android devices.

His focus is on developing cutting-edge automated reasoning techniques and on using them to build a new generation of push-button software verification and debugging tools supporting the development of complex, large-scale, distributed IT applications.
