Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarlotta Tagliaro is a postdoctoral researcher and cybersecurity specialist with eight years of hands-on experience focused on securing IoT ecosystems and application-layer protocols. She completed a PhD at TU Wien investigating large-scale analysis of Android companion apps to uncover security and privacy leaks, particularly around IoT network protocols like MQTT and HbbTV. Her work blends academic rigor with industry exposure from internships at Qualcomm and security-focused roles at Fondazione Bruno Kessler and Sababa Security, giving her practical insight into real-world deployments. Carlotta has also taught and mentored across academic and startup contexts, translating complex technical findings into actionable guidance for students and practitioners. Based in Vienna, she combines protocol-level expertise with a keen interest in balancing security, privacy, and performance in constrained IoT environments. An attentive researcher, she often pairs network simulation and tooling with empirical analysis to expose subtle, system-level privacy risks that typical app audits can miss.
