I am a Ph.D candidate at ECE in Carnegie Mellon University advised by Professor Dawn Song.
Currently, I am visiting at EECS in UC Berkeley where my advisor got a position.
My interest lies in Computer Security and Networking with an emphasis on Network Security. I have done research
on Binary Analysis, Web Security, Protocol Reverse Engineering, Fingerprinting, Network Robustness against failures,
Anomaly Detection, Worm Detection, and Intrusion Detection.
I am a member of both the Bitblaze and Webblaze research groups.
The Bitblaze research group focuses on applying binary analysis techniques to different security problems, 
while the Webblaze research group focuses on improving web security.

Before coming to CMU, I received a Telecommunication Engineer degree from Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM) in 
Madrid, Spain and a M.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in
Stockholm, Sweden.
During my studies I have been fortunate to work with many outstanding people, including Chenxi Wang at Forrester Research,
Christopher Olston at Yahoo Research, Vern Paxson at ICSI / UC Berkeley,
Jennifer Yates and Jia Wang at AT&T Research Labs, George Liu and Gerald "Chip" Maguire at KTH.

In October 2003 I was awarded the La Caixa Foundation Fellowship, arguably the most prestigious fellowship for
international graduate studies awarded in Spain.

Starting in May 2002 and for two years I held positions as R&D Engineer and Systems Engineer in Orange (formerly Amena),
a spanish cell phone carrier.
