My name is Ioannis Papagiannis (friends call me Yiannis) and I am a research assistant at the Large-Scale Distributed Systems group of Imperial College London.
Over the past few years, I worked on taint tracking, a technique to secure applications by monitoring data propagation at runtime. My supervisor was Dr. Peter Pietzuch and I was involved in two EPSRC-funded research projects (named SmartFlow and CloudFilter). The work that I carried out while at Imperial earned me a PhD! Feel free to look into the publications section of this website to learn more about our efforts to secure applications written in Java, PHP and Ruby.
Before coming to London, I lived and studied in Athens, Greece. I graduated from the Electical and Computer Engineering Department of the National Techincal University of Athens.
Apart from studying and spending most of my time in front of a monitor reading feeds, I also enjoy messing up my (Android) phone. My small contribution to the mobile app frenzy can be found here. Last but not least, every friend of mine knows that I enjoy greek traditional dancing and a casual game of tennis (or should I say “squash”? -5 years in Britain do have an effect).
Cheers,
Yiannis
One of the first things that I missed back in the day when I bought my HD2 was an easy way to switch wifi on and off. You know, a simple switch app with no GUI just to place it on the wonderful Manilla placeholders. After looking around for some time nothing seemed to be what I really wanted. Fancy WM 6.5 png icon and no GUI. So, I once more decided to write my own app. T3, the gadget magazine,
