Alberto Verna

Hi 👋

I’m a PhD candidate at Politecnico di Torino and a researcher with SmartData@PoliTO. I study privacy and security mechanisms applied to the Web, learning how the work and how to eventually improve them. I particularly enjoy problems that bridge research and real-world systems.

I’ve been tinkering with computers since I was young, driven by curiosity about how things work (and how they break). Outside research, I enjoy video games, photography, and practice swimming and parkour casually.

If you’re working on web privacy, security, internet measurement, or applied AI—or simply think our interests overlap—feel free to reach out!
