Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuca Degani is a research-focused software engineer and PhD student at the University of Trento specializing in IoT security, with 11 years of hands-on experience spanning firmware testing, vulnerability detection, and software testing. He holds a summa cum laude master's in Cybersecurity and Data Science and earned high marks in his undergraduate IT studies, reflecting strong academic rigor. Currently a Research Fellow at IIT-CNR, Luca's doctoral work builds on a master's thesis that developed evaluation metrics for bare-metal IoT firmware fuzzing—a niche blend of low-level engineering and practical security assessment. His background includes early industry internships in Java, OracleDB and COBOL, demonstrating an ability to work across legacy and modern stacks. Known for "occasionally breaking things," he pairs curiosity-driven experimentation with methodical research to uncover subtle IoT flaws.
