Simone Lenti

Simone Lenti is an Assistant Professor (Ricercatore RTDa) at the Department of Computer, Control, and Management Engineering of Sapienza University of Rome. He is an active member of the A.WA.RE research group, which specializes in visual analytics. Lenti obtained his Ph.D. in 2021 with a dissertation on visual analytics techniques for cybersecurity.

His research bridges cybersecurity, visual analytics, and human-computer interaction, focusing on:

• Developing computational methods for vulnerability analysis (e.g., NLP for CVE relevance, smart contract taxonomies)
• Designing visual tools for threat detection (e.g., attack graphs, firmware fuzzing)
• Enhancing interpretability in data-driven systems (e.g., partial dependence analysis, process mining)

Lenti's publications (2019–2025) demonstrate a consistent focus on applying visual analytics to cybersecurity challenges, with recent expansions into bioinformatics and education. Key trends include automated vulnerability management, human-centered explainability, and scalable threat modeling.

Awards:
IEEE VizSec 2018 Best Paper for contributions to cybersecurity visualization.

He contributes to academic infrastructure through tools like easyDeclare (declarative process modeling) and BUCEPHALUS (business-centric cybersecurity analysis), emphasizing practical applications of his research.
