Research Interests

My research interests lie at the crossroad of Privacy, Security, Data Mining and Databases: Security and Privacy issues raised by data integration and distributed Data Mining techniques; Security issues in Databases and Federated Search; Applied Cryptography and Secure Multi-Party Computation techniques; Document anonymization techniques to prevent the disclosure of privacy sensitive attributes.
