About me

Hey there, I’m Xevi, a security researcher with a strong background in applied cryptography.

I hold a PhD in Applied Cryptography from Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), where I was part of the WiSeCom group and also taught Cryptography and Security as an adjunct professor. My research focused on efficient Zero-Knowledge proving systems for constrained environments, with applications in areas such as mobile communications and IoT. You can find my thesis here.

While I’ve spent the past few years working deeply on applied cryptography and Zero-Knowledge-based protocols, my broader background encompasses wireless networks / RF security, OS security, vulnerability research, and different offensive techniques.
