Academic Achievements
- She has won several awards, including the Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (WIFS) 2014, the Best Paper Award at WIFS 2015, and at the Ninth International Conferences on Advances in Multimedia (MMEDIA) 2017. In 2017, she received the GTTI PhD Award for the best PhD Theses defended at an Italian University in the areas of Communications Technologies (Signal Processing, Digital Communications, Networking). She has served as a reviewer or member of technical program committees for multiple journals and conferences, and has organized and chaired special sessions at various international events.
Research Experience
- Currently, she is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Information Engineering and Mathematics, University of Siena. She has been an assistant for the courses on Information Theory and Coding and Multimedia Security. She is part of the Visual Information Processing and Protection (VIPP) Group led by Prof. Mauro Barni. She is involved in several projects, including the DARPA Semantic Forensics (SemaFor) program as a Co-PI investigator, and the PREMIER PRIN project funded by MIUR as a workpackage coordinator.
Education
- She received her master's degree (cum laude) in Electronics and Communications Engineering from the University of Siena in 2012, and her PhD in Information Engineering and Mathematical Sciences from the same university in 2016, with a thesis titled 'Theoretical Foundations of Adversarial Detection and Applications to Multimedia Forensics'.
Background
- Her research interests include the application of Information-Theoretic methods and Game theory concepts to Forensics and Counter-Forensics analysis, and more generally to Multimedia Security. Recently, her work focuses on Machine Learning and Deep Learning applications for Digital Forensics and Counter-Forensics, and on the security of Machine Learning techniques.
Miscellany
- She is a member of the IEEE Young Professionals and IEEE Signal Processing Society, and a member of the National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT). Since January 2019, she has also been a member of the Information Forensics and Security (IFS) Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
