Marco Balduzzi defended brillantly his PhD thesis at EURECOM on December 15th, 2011. Topic of the thesis : "Automated Measurements of Novel Internet Threats”.

 

He was born in Seriate (Italy) in 1982. He has studied Computer Engineering at the University of Bergamo where he has obtained his Master (Eng. Msc.) with a thesis titled «Security by virtualization: a novel antivirus for personal computers».

During his graduation studies, in 2005 he has spent six months as exchange student at the University of Science and Technology of Trondheim (Norway), and the following year he has joined an IT-security company in Munich (Germany) to perform an internship oriented to the research of a new system architecture for computers defense.

Marco is interested in Linux and Free-Software since the year 2000, when he co-founded the Bergamo's Linux User Group.
