Biography

Sara Baldoni received her Bachelor degree in Electronics Engineering from Roma Tre University in 2016 2016, with a thesis about distributed image processing for Earth observation from LEO satellites,  and Master degree in Information and Communication Technology Engineering from Roma Tre University in 2018, with a thesis about security for GNSS Augmentation Networks. She has been enrolled in the Ph.D. course in Applied Electronics at Roma Tre University from 2018 to 2021 designing of a context-aware security framework which has been applied to geolocalization and Cyber-Physical Systems. She has been a Post Doc researcher at the Department of Industrial, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering at Roma Tre University from December 2021 to February 2023, and she is now a non-tenured assistant professor at the University of Padova.

Research

Her main research interests are in the area of communication security, navigation and localization systems, and multimedia content processing.

Projects

Ongoing projects

  • ISEEYOO – AI-based Network Anomaly Detection for CPS exploiting 2D data representation
    The ISEEYOO Project aims at designing and implementing an anomaly detection system for monitoring the information collected from a network of Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs) in the communication phase. It is founded under the University of Padova “SEED Research Grants”.
