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).
Recent updates!
- I just started, on June 1st 2025 an internship at Nokia Bell Labs in Stuttgart, Germany until August, 31st 2025.
- I did a 6 months research visit to Pr. Steven Galbraith at the University of Auckland, New Zealand from mid-July 2024 to 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.
