Professor Fabio Massacci (MEng’92, PhD’98 Computer Engineering, MA’95 in International Relations) has held academic positions in Rome, Cambridge, Toulouse, Trento, and now Amsterdam. He held visiting positions in Durham, Koblenz, Lueven, Marina del Rey, and Oslo.

He has published hundreds of papers on multi-disciplinary aspects of security and has received the *Ten years Most Influential Paper Award* by the IEEE Requirements Engineering Conference in 2015 for his 2005 work on security and trust in socio-technical systems.

He has coordinated several European projects (the SECONOMICS project on socio-economic aspects of security). He coordinates the education and skills work package of the CyberSec4Europe European pilot for an European Competence Center and he is the coordinator on the [H2020 AssureMOSS project] on open source security (“Written everywhere, Secured in Europe”).

He is interested in foundational and experimental aspects of security in socio-technical systems and will work on the analysis of socio-technical systems to understand how they react to extreme events and how people and companies might decide to bind the rules to have some results.

Professor Massacci is chair of Foundational and Experimental Security at Vrije Universiteit, and part-time professor of cyber security at the University of Trento.
