About Me

Ranindya Paramitha, but everyone calls me Nanin.

Born and raised in Indonesia, currently in Italy

PhD Student in DISI Security Group at the University of Trento, Italy. Focusing on software security under the supervision of Prof. Fabio Massacci.


Overview

I'm currently pursuing my PhD at the University of Trento, Italy, focusing on software security under the supervision of Prof. Fabio Massacci. My interest on this field started when I was doing my bachelor in informatics, at Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia. I continued my master on the same field, doing my thesis on mining software repositories for security.

I'm grateful that until now, ALL my higher education years are covered by several scholarships. During my bachelor and master periods, I had several internship experiences in some software companies in Indonesia. Despite having some experiences working in industry, I discovered that I enjoy teaching and (later) researching, which encouraged me to pursue my PhD. I also enjoy attending conferences/ schools as they broaden my knowledge while giving me networking opportunity.


Research Interest

  • Vulnerability analysis
  • Software dependency analysis
  • Empirical analysis on software ecosystem regarding security
  • Mining software repositories for security-related purposes
  • Developers-involving studies on software security
  • and things revolving around them!

"Nanin"

My nickname, created by my dad's creative brain with no intentional meaning. Out of curiosity (and denial of having a "meaningless" name) I googled it and I found this:

Ñāṇin, (adj.) knowing, one who is possessed of (right) knowledge S. II, 169; A. II, 89 (sammā°); IV, 340

Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English Dictionary]
So... by sheer luck, it has a good meaning :)
