European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept Grant PHILOS: Prefix HIjacking Live detectiOn System Acquired a prestigious ERC Proof of Concept Grant to investigate the commercial exploitation of research results about Internet routing security and BGP prefix hijacking in particular.

RIPE NCC Community Project ARTEMIS: Automatic and Real-Time dEtection and MItigation System Acquired funding from RIPE NCC to build an open source tool for detecting and mitigating BGP prefix hijacking attacks.

FET OPEN VisorSurf: A Hardware Platform for Software-driven Functional Metasurfaces Supporting project development and carrying out project management duties. The entire project, which involves five partners and a total budget of 5,75 million euros, was initiated in FORTH-ICS by my group members.

Marie Sklodowska-Curie WIVI-2020: Wireless Visionaries for 2020 Participating in an Initial Training Network - European Industrial Doctorate project. Supervising a PhD student, who is supported by the project.

European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant NetVolution: Evolving Internet Routing -- A Paradigm Shift to Foster Innovation Acquired a prestigious ERC Starting Grant to conduct research on evolving the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) of the Internet based on a novel SDN-based paradigm. Total funding: 1,41 million euros.

Privacy-Preserving Data Publishing Acquired funding from the Zurich Information Security Center (ZISC) to research risk assessment and privacy preservation technologies for facilitating data owners in deciding if aggregate data, like statistics, association rules, and classifiers, can be safely published. The project was funded by Google through ZISC. Initiated project and led writing of project proposal.

DEcentralized, cooperative and privacy-preserving MONitoring for trustworthinesS (DEMONS) Participated in the FP7 DEMONS project. Supervised research on the design of efficient secure multi-party computation protocols for distributed network anomaly detection, event correlation, and troubleshooting.

Privacy-Preserving Flow Analyzer In partnership with IBM Research Zurich, acquired funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation to transfer the SEPIA multi-party computation library developed in ETH to an IBM pilot privacy-preserving multi-domain traffic flow analyzer. Initiated the project, led writing of project proposal, and coordinated conducted work.

SecMetrics: On Quantifying Operational Security Acquired funding from the Swiss Defense Procurement Agency to conduct research on network intrusion detection and on security metrics in enterprise networks. Led writing of project proposal.

INfrastructure for heTErogeneous, Resilient, SEcure, Complex, Tightly Inter-Operating Networks (INTERSECTION) Participated in the FP7 INTERSECTION project, which developed a modular security framework for heterogeneous networks. As part of this project, ETH developed novel techniques and tools to generate synthetic anomalies for evaluating network traffic anomaly detection systems. Supervised conducted research and handled project administration.

Marie Curie International Re-integration Grant Acquired FP6 funding for conducting research on the management and coordination of network traffic monitoring sensors. The conducted research led to novel monitoring and measurement analysis techniques for mapping service dependencies and for detecting anomalies.

NeTS-NR: Toward Mathematically Rigorous Next-Generation Routing Protocols for Realistic Network Topologies Participated in National Science Foundation (NSF) project that designed a mathematically rigorous Internet routing scheme for realistic network topologies. Developed novel techniques for measuring and modeling the topology of the Internet at the level of Autonomous Systems.
