My Photo

I am an assistant professor of Computer Science at ETH Zürich. I lead the SPY Lab, and am a member of the Information Security Institute and of ZISC, and an associated faculty of the ETHZ AI Center.

My research interests lie in Computer Security, Machine Learning and Cryptography. In my current work, I study the worst-case behavior of Deep Learning systems from an adversarial perspective, to understand and mitigate long-term threats to the safety and privacy of users.

To learn more about our lab's work, see here or take a look at our blog.

My work has been featured in The Economist, Nature, Science, Communications of the ACM, Wired and the Swiss news (in french).

I received my PhD from Stanford University under the supervision of Dan Boneh. Part of my graduate studies were generously supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Open Philanthropy Project. After graduating, I spent one year at Google Brain.
