Luciano Maino
Ph.D. student @ University of Bristol
Luciano is a PhD Student at the University of Bristol under the supervision of Dr Chloe Martindale. His main
interest is post-quantum cryptography and, more specifically, isogeny-based cryptography. Luciano is
interested in employing algebraic geometry to both cryptanalyse and design quantum-resistant cryptosystems.
Other interests include improvements on isogeny computations.

Marco Squarcina
Senior Scientist @ TU Wien
Marco Squarcina is a senior scientist at TU Wien, which he joined at the end of 2018 after receiving his PhD
in Computer Science at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. His research interests mainly focus on Web and mobile
security, spanning from system security to applied formal methods. His work was published in several top-tier
academic venues, and he serves on the program committee of numerous conferences and workshops (IEEE S&P,
ACSAC, WOOT, MadWeb, SecWeb, etc.). As a long-standing member of the CTF hacking scene, Marco co-founded the
mhackeroni team and competed at the DEF CON CTF finals four times. He co-organized the Italian Cyber Challenge
project and is collaborating with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) on IT security
educational initiatives; after coordinating the Attack/Defense CTF at the European Cyber Security Challenge
(ECSC) 2022 in Vienna, he is now serving as the coach of the Austrian national team. Marco is also a
passionate teacher, offering CTF-based security courses at TU Wien and supporting the Viennese academic team
WE_0WN_Y0U.

Daniel Weber
Ph.D. student @ CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security
Daniel Weber is a PhD student researching in the field of microarchitectural attacks, such as side-channel and
transient-execution attacks.
His work focuses on automating the process of finding such attacks.
Daniel already gave presentations and trainings about his work on both, academic (e.g., USENIX, ESORICS) as
well as industrial (Black Hat MEA, RuhrSec) conferences.
He is part of Michael Schwarz' research group at the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security.
Before that, he obtained a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity from Saarland University.
In his free time, Daniel regularly participates in Capture the Flag competitions as part of the team saarsec.
