I am a teacher-researcher (enseignant-chercheur) in cybersecurity at Efrei (Paris Panthéon-Assas Université), within the “Security, Resilience and Digital Trust” research group of the Efrei Research Lab, and an associate member of the ROC team of the CEDRIC lab (Cnam, Paris). At Efrei, I head the work-study “Networks & Security” major and oversee the educational use of the Airbus cyber range.

I received my PhD in computer science from the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (HESAM Université) in December 2023, under the supervision of Samia Bouzefrane (ROC team) and Vincent Audigier (MSDMA team). My thesis, “Exploring the Scope of Machine Learning using Homomorphic Encryption in IoT/Cloud”, focused on privacy-preserving machine learning over encrypted data. Before joining Efrei in 2024, I was a teaching and research fellow (ATER) at Université Paris Panthéon-Assas.

I graduated from the master’s programme in Arithmetic, Coding and Cryptology of the University of Paris 8 (2019), after a research internship on side-channel attacks against code-based (post-quantum) cryptographic schemes in the TAMIS team at Inria Rennes – Bretagne Atlantique, supervised by Annelie Heuser, Martino Borello and Tania Richmond.

My research interests include homomorphic encryption and privacy-preserving machine learning (PPML), post-quantum cryptography (hybrid constructions, implementation optimisation, side-channel attacks), security of IoT/cloud environments and vehicular networks, intrusion detection over encrypted traffic (TLS 1.3/QUIC), security and governance of LLM-based applications (GovSecLLM++ benchmark), blockchain privacy, and multidisciplinary approaches to digital security (cybercriminology, digital forensics).

I am CEH v13 and PRINCE2 7 Foundation certified, and currently pursuing a university diploma in cybercriminology (Paris Nanterre), a master’s degree in IT security, cybersecurity and cyberthreats (Cnam) and an Executive MBA (IAE Paris-Sorbonne). I am a member of ARCSI, AFSIN and CEFCYS, a cyber helper of the MonAideCyber community (ANSSI), and I take part in science outreach with the Inria programme “1 scientifique, 1 classe : chiche !”.
