Research Interests
Daniel Uroz is a postdoctoral researcher in cybersecurity at the RME Group of the Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain), supervised by Prof. Ricardo J. Rodríguez. He holds a Ph.D. from the same university and his current research focuses on the analysis of new trends in malware evolution. He has several years of experience in malware analysis, reverse engineering, and digital forensics in both the public and private sectors. Always looking for future opportunities to apply his knowledge to fight cybercrime on a global scale, he is looking for either a full remote or hybrid position in the city of Zaragoza.
