About Me

Hi I am Alexandros Andreou :wave:,
I am an Information Security Researcher with a life long learner attitude and a broad field of interests. Fascinated by everything within the field of computer science, especially security, blockchain, AI/ML and hardware (with vastly varying degree of knowledge). Among many other things I have also developed an interest for the game of backgammon.

Special Scientist

2017 — 2018

I started a PhD in Computer Architecture at the University of Cyprus working on different projects such as trying to wave the voltage margines of CPUs for application specific executions and protecting the register renaming subsystem of dynamically scheduled out of order cores. Unfortunately I did not finish as I got a job opportunity and doing both was very difficult time wise. Maybe some day...

MSc in Computer Science and Engineering (Security)

2014 — 2016

I studied Computer Science and Engineering with a Security studyline and a lot of hardware courses at DTU (Denmarks Technical University). My Thesis was on a cross-core cache timing attack sidechannel against AES.

MEng in Electronic and Electrical Engineering

2010 — 2014

I studied Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Leeds. My Thesis was on Surface Plasmon Polariton for Solar Cell energy generation. Deriving equations, writing and running simulations, showing graphs. Usuall stuff.
