RESEARCH STATEMENT

My research interests focus on methods, efficient algorithms and complexity theory for IT-security and fault-tolerant distributed systems. These have several practical applications, including, for instance, the secure and fast implementations of both data replication repositories and e-business software.

In particular, my research comprises the design, the complexity analysis and the implementation of deterministic and randomized, fault-tolerant and attack-resilient protocols in network environments containing miscellaneous dynamic distributed components.

I have a wide interest in theoretical problems and proof techniques which can be helpful in practical scenarios, and have already employed methods from probability theory, game theory and combinatorial topology, in order to develop optimal solutions or improve complexity analysis.
