Panagiotis Ilia is a Lecturer at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering of the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT), and the Director of the Security, Privacy and Trust Research Laboratory (SPT@CUT). He holds a BSc in Informatics from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, an MSc in Advanced Computing – Internet Technologies with Security, from the University of Bristol, and a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Crete. Before joining CUT he has held research positions at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Technical University of Crete.

Dr. Ilia’s research is in the broader area of security and privacy, with emphasis on web security and emerging online threats, data leakage, browser and mobile security, fingerprinting and user tracking, authentication management and access control, and secure system and infrastructure design. His recent work also explores the intersection of AI and security, leveraging AI for vulnerability discovery, threat analysis, and the evaluation of outputs produced by large language models (LLMs), as well as adversarial attacks and agent interference, either malicious or unintentional. His research has been published in top-tier venues such as ACM CCS, USENIX Security, and NDSS, and has led to the disclosure of multiple real-world vulnerabilities (CVEs). Show less
