Riccardo Lazzeretti serves as Associate Professor at Sapienza University of Rome since September 2022, following progression from Assistant Professor roles (RTD-A/B) at the same institution from 2017-2022. His academic trajectory includes post-doctoral research at the University of Siena's VIPP group, a research grant at the University of Padua, and industry experience at Italian startup Cynny s.p.a.
His educational foundation comprises:
- MSc in Computer Science Engineering, University of Siena (2007)
- PhD in Information Engineering, University of Siena (2012)
Lazzeretti's research centers on privacy-preserving technologies with emphasis on Secure Multi-Party Computation for encrypted signal processing. His work spans biometric security (including multi-biometric authentication), IoT security protocols, blockchain applications in healthcare, and social network misinformation detection. Recent publications demonstrate deep integration of cryptographic techniques with machine learning for resource-constrained devices and critical infrastructure protection.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals dominant trends in IoT/drone security (32% of works), browser/API vulnerabilities (13%), and privacy-preserving architectures (27%). His research consistently bridges theoretical cryptography with practical system implementations, particularly for emerging technologies like NDN and programmable data planes.
His scholarly recognition includes:
- SIGMM Test of Time Paper Honourable Mention (2021) for Multimedia Security contributions
- IET Biometrics Premium Best Paper Award (2021)
Lazzeretti has supervised graduate students at the University of Siena and secured research funding through collaborations with NATO's CMRE, Digital Catapult (UK), and IMT Lucca. Current projects include privacy-preserving consensus algorithms for IoT and blockchain-based health applications. He maintains active partnerships with European research entities including Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation and Digital Catapult.
His laboratory affiliations encompass the VIPP research group at University of Siena and ongoing collaborations with Sapienza's cybersecurity initiatives, focusing on cross-disciplinary teams integrating signal processing, cryptography, and machine learning expertise.
