Zanetti, Davide

About me

I received the Diplôme d’Ingénieur HES en Electronique (B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering) from the Ecole d’ingénieurs et d’architectes de Fribourg in December 2002 and the Degree of Master of Science in Embedded Systems Design from the ALaRI Institute in September 2005.

From January 2006 to September 2007 I worked as Software and Test Engineer in two different companies, bmd wireless AG and Nexus Telecom AG, both operating in the telecommunication area (solutions for GSM/UMTS/SS7 networks).

From October 2007 to April 2009 I worked as research associate at SAP Research Zürich, where I was involved in the UE project BRIDGE (Work Package 4, Tasks Network Confidentiality and Supply Chain Integrity).

Since October 2007, I am a PhD student in the System Security Group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich.
