Paolo Palmieri, Ph.D.

I am an Associate Professor in Cyber Security at University College Cork (Ireland).
I earned my Ph.D. in Cryptography in January 2013, at the Crypto Group of the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium). I then moved to Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands), where I was a Post-doctoral Researcher for 2 years, working on privacy-enhancing technologies. Before joining UCC, I was a Lecturer in Computing at Bournemouth University (2015-16), and a Lecturer in Cyber Security at Cranfield University (2016-17), in the United Kingdom.
Most of my research work in cyber security focuses on cryptography, privacy and anonymity. My research interests include secure computation, privacy-enhancing technologies, anonymity protocols, location privacy and smart cities.
I am always looking for motivated students interested in contributing to the research of our group.
