About Me
Hi! I am a Ph.D. Student at IMDEA Software Institute. I am part of the security group lead by Prof. Juan Caballero. I received my M.Sc in cybersecurity from the Universidad de Alcalá (UAH).
My research focuses on cybercrime, particularly ransom scams, attribution target selection, threat hunting, and threat intelligence approaches. I enjoy participating in CTFs and have a genuine passion for all things related to IT.
My Erdös number is 4 (Juan Caballero -> Geoffrey M. Voelker -> Ronald. L. Graham -> P. Erdös).
I transform coffe into code, and datasets into knowledge… Or at least I try to.
