About me

I am a PhD student at EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland since September 2021. I was an EDIC Fellow during my first year. I am interested in post quantum cryptography and digital signatures. I am working in the LASEC lab supervised by Pr. Serge Vaudenay and Pr. Christophe Petit (ULB).
I am currently on a 6 months research visit to Pr. Steven Galbraith at the University of Auckland, New Zealand until mid-january 2025, thanks to an EPFL DocMobility grant.

Previously

I completed a Bachelor in Mathematics at the University of Geneva (2016-2019), with an exchange semester at the University of Toronto during my 3rd year.

I then obtained a MASt in Pure Mathematics at the University of Cambridge (2019-2020), more commonly known as Part III of the Mathematical Tripos, specializing in Number Theory.

I went on with another Master in Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Geneva (2020-2021), with a focus on cryptography and security.
