Hound Team

In the last years, I have had the pleasure of supervising a number of talented students. Without their hard work and dedication, my research would not have been possible. I grouped them under the name of the Holistic Offensive Unit for Networked Devices (HOUND) team. Ok, I admit it, the name is a bit of a stretch, but look at my dog in the logo! Isn’t he cool?
