Bio
I am an Assistant Professor in the Cybersecurity research group at TU Delft.
From September 2020 until August 2023, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the imec-DistriNet research group at KU Leuven’s Technology Campus in Ghent, Belgium.
I obtained my PhD degree from UC Irvine in 2020 under the supervision of Professor Michael Franz. In my PhD dissertation, I proposed new techniques to improve the security and performance of N-Variant eXecution (NVX) systems. Before that, I completed my undergraduate studies at Athens University of Economics and Business/Department of Informatics, Greece. I have also done internships at Oracle Labs and Apple. You can contact me at A.Voulimeneas AT tudelft DOT nl or Twitter.
Research
My research interests include:
- Systems Security
- Operating Systems
- Computer Networks and Distributed Systems
