Claudio Migliorelli

Welcome to my website. My name is Claudio. I'm a Security Researcher at IBM Research Zürich. I have a Master's Degree in Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Milano and a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and Engineering from University of Rome "Tor Vergata".

My work is focused on the broad area of kernel security and my research interests vary from operating systems to micro-architectural attacks. In the past, I worked on kernel-level rootkits, specifically on those not modifying kernel-level data structures (e.g., using hardware facilities). I work with the Linux kernel on a daily basis, and I've been doing so for the last 4/5 years. It started as a hobby, and then became my job.

I use Emacs and I’m a strong supporter of open-source software. I run Linux and I developed some patches for the kernel that have been accepted and merged into the Linux kernel’s source tree (see kernel contributions).
