About Me
"Imagination is more important than knowledge" -- Albert Einstein
Currently, I am an Associate Professor at Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, SPIRU HARET University.
I graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from University of Bucharest, where I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Emeritus Dr. Adrian ATANASIU.
I'm specialised in Computer and Network Security. I have a strong affinity for applied cryptography and information security for complex scalable systems. Few of the topics on which I am spending my time in doing research are: Searchable Encryption, Homomorphic Encryption, Functional Encryption, Lattices, Multi-Party Computation, Steganography, Steganalysis, Secure Protocols, Zero Knowledge, Authentication Mechanisms Design, Blockchains, Cryptocurrencies, and Biometrics Security. My research interests are extended as well for creating bridges between Cryptography and Information Security with Computer Vision, Biometrics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Deep Learning.
As side activities and responsibilities, I am working as Project Manager and Consultant for different comapnies and industry players, focusing on implementing and making sure that the development of complex software systems are complied with recent standards.
Also, I do have experience with different technologies, such as Azure, DevOps, C#, Python, SyncFusion, ASP.NET, Vue, JavaScript, nodeJS, MVC, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle.
