Daniel Dubois is an associate research scientist at Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences, working on understanding the privacy implications of the Internet of Things. His research is rooted in software engineering, specifically on decentralized and self-adaptive software architectures. As his work has matured, he has become more interested in distributed systems, in particular from a privacy perspective, which he focuses on now. Daniel earned his PhD in information engineering from Politecnico di Milano, where he interned at IBM Haifa Research Lab. He then participated as a postdoctoral research fellow at the MIT Media Lab funded by the MIT-Italy Rocca Fellowship, as well as Imperial College London funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie program.
