🎉 I'm excited to share that I've been appointed to Full Professor, effective today: https://ethrat.ch/en/appointments-march-26/

Looking back, this milestone would not have been possible without the incredible group of students, collaborators, and colleagues I had the pleasure of working with over the past 20 years of research. I'm also grateful for all the collaborators, letter writers, mentors, supporters, and whoever helped and supported us on the way.

The HexHive group has grown into a vibrant group focusing on software and systems security 🔐. Together we have secured over CHF 12M in funding 💰 for the group (including the prestigious ERC Starting Grant and ERC Advanced Grant), published close to 200 papers 📄, with 26 papers at USENIX Security, 13 at Oakland, 12 at NDSS, and 11 at CCS.

But the achievements I value most are not the distinguished paper awards, open source prototypes, or grants. I'm most proud of the people who spent time in my lab. Out of those, I especially cherish the 16 PhD students who have graduated and are now carrying forward the spirit of the HexHive lab: inclusive, collaborative research in software and system security, working together on security challenges that matter.
