Mafalda Ferreira
Junior Researcher @ INESC-ID, PhD Student @ IST
Welcome! I am a PhD student in Computer Science and Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, being kindly advised by professor Nuno Santos. I am a junior researcher at INESC-ID Lisbon and member of the Distributed Systems Group (GSD), as part of the SysSec team.
I am interested in Web security and privacy. Specifically, my research focuses on developing systems based on static analysis techniques to identify security vulnerabilities and privacy violations in JavaScript code.
Previously, I received my MSc in Computer Science and Engineering at IST in 2021, under the guidance of professor Nuno Santos. My dissertation, entitled Building GDPR-Compliant Web Applications with RuleKeeper is available in the Publications section.
I have been a teaching assistant at IST, University of Lisbon since 2019. To learn more about my teaching activities, check my Teaching section.
