About

Beginning a PhD at Universidade do Porto, INEGI, and LSTS.FEUP, sitting at the intersection of embedded security, IoT, and autonomous systems. My research targets the security of unmanned vehicles, with a particular focus on unmanned maritime vehicles (UMVs) — where hostile environments, hardware attack vectors, resource-constrained platforms, and the absence of trusted infrastructure make every classical security assumption a liability.

Background in offensive security — binary exploitation, reverse engineering, and CTF competitions.
