Claudio Migliorelli

Welcome to my website. My name is Claudio. I'm a Predoctoral Researcher at IBM Research Zürich and a PhD Student at EPFL, in Switzerland. I am supervised by Mathias Payer. 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 hardening. 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).
