About

Cybersecurity Researcher · University of Málaga

I am a cybersecurity researcher at the University of Málaga, Spain, where I work within the Network and Information Computer Security (NICS) group.

My broader research interests span IoT security, critical infrastructure protection, and the intersection of machine learning with cybersecurity — particularly in detection and deception tasks.

When not doing research, I enjoy mentoring students, contributing to open-source security tooling, and sharing technical knowledge through writing and conference talks.
