About

Hi! My name is Eleonora and I am currently an Associate Professor at the University of Padua. My career started in bioengineering, but one internship at EPFL got me hooked on Android security. So I packed my things, moved to Padua, and started shaping my own research direction, meanwhile building a research team (PadOverflow), excited about software security like me! We are into anything that breaks (or secures) software, with a soft focus for Android but not exclusively. If you want to know more about the PadOverflow’s research directions, check this page out. If you want to know more about me, you can listen to this interview!
