About

Mauro Conti is a leading researcher in cybersecurity, with a particular focus on the security and privacy challenges of emerging technologies such as Extended Reality (XR), the Internet of Things (IoT), and programmable data planes. His major contributions include pioneering work on user profiling in Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR), demonstrating that users can be uniquely identified and tracked through their head and hand movements—a critical privacy vulnerability in immersive environments. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered 60 citations, highlighting its immediate impact on the field. Conti also explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and network security, investigating how AI can both threaten and protect high-speed, low-latency networks like the tactile Internet. His research is instrumental in understanding the security implications of next-generation communication systems. With a career marked by high-impact publications and a forward-looking focus on securing the digital frontier, Conti is a key voice in the ongoing effort to protect users and systems in an increasingly connected and immersive world.
