About me
I am currently serving as an Associate Professor at CY Cergy-Paris University, a position I have held since September 2021. I am involved with both the Computer Science Department at CYU, where I focus on teaching, and the ETIS group (Équipes Traitement de l'Information et Systèmes), a joint research department between CYU, ENSEA, and CNRS. Specifically, I am a permanent member of the ICI (Information, Communication, and Imaging) team within ETIS.
My research primarily revolves around post-quantum cryptography, with a focus on code-based and lattice-based cryptography. I am also engaged in telecommunications reverse engineering, especially in the blind recognition of error-correcting codes, a topic closely related to code-based cryptography.
In addition to my research, I am passionate about teaching. I instruct courses at CYU, ENSEA, and Université Paris Cité, focusing on topics such as cryptography, error-correcting codes, and cybersecurity.

My Current Situation
I am Associate Professor at CY Cergy-Paris University since September 2021.
I teach cryptography and cybersecurity within the Computer Science Department at CYU. I am responsible for the Networks and Security track of the Master’s program in SIC-IISC (Systèmes Intelligents et Communicants - Informatique et Ingénierie des Systèmes Complexes) at CYU and co-responsible for the Cybersecurity track in the engineering program at CY Tech. I also deliver courses on cryptography, information theory, and error-correcting codes at ENSEA and Université Paris Cité. To learn more about my teaching, follow the link.
I conduct my research at ETIS (UMR 8051) (Équipes Traitement de l'Information et Systèmes). ETIS is a joint research department between CY Cergy Paris University, ENSEA Graduate School of Electrical Engineering and CNRS Sciences Informatiques. The department is currently headed by Prof. Lola Canamero. The ETIS laboratory is at the forefront of the current AI revolution. It develops research in information theory, combining both theoretical and experimental approaches to enable information processing systems to achieve greater autonomy and improve their energy consumption and computational efficiency. The systems developed by ETIS are designed to perform intelligent processing that adapts to increasing complexity. Key areas of focus include reconfigurable chip systems, data analysis, image indexing, developmental robotics, information theory, and telecommunications. Central to these systems are learning and adaptation algorithms based on data.
In particular, I am member of the ICI (Information, Communication, and Imaging) team within ETIS. The ICI group's research primarily focuses on wireless communications, information theory, signal processing, and imaging. The group's work is especially pertinent to application areas such as 5G/6G (IoT and machine learning for communications), coding and information-theoretic security, networking and edge computing, imaging and modeling.
I conduct my research in close collaboration with the COSMIQ project-team at Inria de Paris. My research interests focus on post-quantum cryptography, specifically code-based and lattice-based cryptography. I am also interested in a closely related topic: telecommunications reverse engineering, particularly the blind recognition of error-correcting codes.
