معرفی
Dr. Silvia Bonomi serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome, where she has held academic positions since 2006. Her career progression includes Research Fellow (2010-2011), Tenure Track Assistant Professor (2016-2019), and current Associate Professor appointment since 2019. She maintains her office in Room B114 and is actively engaged in research and teaching within the university's engineering faculty.
Her educational background includes:
- PhD in Computer Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome and Institut de Formation Supérieure en Informatique et Communication (IFSIC/IRISA), Rennes, France (completed under advisors Prof. Roberto Baldoni and Prof. Michel Raynal)
Dr. Bonomi's research critically examines dynamic distributed systems where entities autonomously join and leave networks, with applications spanning VANETs, airborne networks, social networks, and distributed cloud services. She pioneers work in Byzantine fault tolerance for mobile environments, blockchain security with emphasis on smart contract vulnerability analysis, and resilient cybersecurity frameworks integrating human factors. Her investigations into publish-subscribe systems focus on quality-of-service enhancements, while her peer-to-peer systems research addresses fundamental connectivity challenges in large-scale decentralized environments. This interdisciplinary approach bridges theoretical distributed computing with practical cybersecurity applications.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2021-2024) reveals dominant trends in blockchain security (particularly smart contract vulnerability taxonomies and analysis tool efficacy) and fault-tolerant distributed systems (reliable communication under Byzantine faults in dynamic networks). Her work increasingly integrates human factors into cybersecurity models and develops visual analytics for business-centric risk assessment. Publications span top venues including IEEE CSR, OPODIS, SAFECOMP, and journals like Computers & Security, demonstrating consistent contributions to both theoretical foundations and practical cybersecurity implementations.
