About

I have been working at Microsoft Research since 2004. In 2010, I joined the Languages and Tools team at European Microsoft Innovation Center (EMIC) in Munich, Germany. Before this, I was part of the Security and Privacy team at EMIC and was mainly involved in European collaborative research projects. In 2004, I finished my PhD in network security at Eurecom Institute (Sophia-Antipolis, France) and ENST (Paris) with Prof. Refik Molva as supervisor. The main topic of this work was security of pervasive computing environments in terms of access control, trust establishment, and privacy. I received my Master of Science in networks and distributed systems (DEA-RSD) from the Polytech Nice-Sophia (former ESSI) and INRIA Sophia in 2000. From 1995 to 1999, I worked as an engineer in software development at Siemens in Switzerland. I was mainly involved in projects related to the telecommunication management network. Prior to that, I studied telecommunication at HEIG-VD (former EIVD) in Yverdon, Switzerland.
