Giovanni Camurati
Postdoctoral Researcher • ETH Zurich • Security
I am a postdoc in Prof. Srdjan Capkun’s System Security Group at ETH Zurich.
Previously I was a PhD student at EURECOM, advised by Prof. Aurélien Francillon and co-advised by Prof. Ludovic Apvrille, and I visited Prof. François-Xavier Standaert at UC Louvain. I hold a PhD from Sorbonne Université, a MS in Electronic Engineering from Politecnico di Torino (cum laude) and from Télécom-ParisTech (Diplôme d’ingénieur).
My research explores system security with a focus on the physical layer, wireless technologies, access control and positioning, side and covert channels, firmware analysis and hardware design, mobile and embedded devices. It covers attacks (Screaming Channels, Noise-SDR, Ghost Peak, Time for Change), analysis methodologies (Inception, MCRank) and defenses (PURE, EdgeTDC), with a large experimental component on real systems and commercial devices.
I am/was a PC member of IEEE SP 2025, IEEE SP 2024, ACM WiSec 2024, and ACM CCS 2023 (service), and I am regularly involved in collaborations, teaching and supervision (teaching).
