Talks and Seminars
I usually give talks in several universities, international conferences, summer schools, and industrial events. I also often act as a moderator or I give interviews on security and privacy aspects. Here you can find a (very small) selection of events where I was invited that offer some public material.
Summer Schools and Seminars 🇬🇧
Watermarking: Defense and Hazards. Course delivered at the Summer School on Artificial Intelligence for a Secure Society on 5-10 September, 2024 in Capo Vaticano, Italy.
