Dimitri Kokkonis

I'm a PhD student in the BINSEC team, working under the supervision of Stefano Zacchiroli and Michaël Marcozzi. My research is focused on the automation of the detection of advanced vulnerabilities in binary programs. I graduated from Polytech Sorbonne in 2020 with a Master's degree in Embedded Systems.

I like to code and generally tinker around with stuff and I've been doing it since I was little. I also have a YouTube channel where I upload programming and electronics tutorials (in greek) (sometimes).

I enjoy doing other things too, like (both experiencing and writing/performing) music and theater, as well as going climbing/bouldering.

I would really like to go to space some day.
