ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
After obtaining my High School Diploma with the Très Bien mention (A+), I took intensive preparatory classes on Mathematics, Physics and Mechanics to attend the top engineering school, Télécom SudParis, former Institut National des Télécommunications (INT). It is an active member of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and the Institut Mines Télécom Network.
I graduated from a Master of Science, with an Engineering Degree, where I have studied Telecommunication, Computer Science, Networks and Electronics, with a specialization in Cybersecurity.
In September 2022, I obtain the title of Information Systems Security Expert (Expert de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Informations, ESSI) from the French national security agency ANSSI.
Since June 2023, I am a Ph.D. candidate in cybersecurity, focused on layers 2 of public blockchains. I have the chance to work on my research with Prof. Rida Khatoun from Télécom Paris, Institut Polytechnique of Paris on one side, and with Yannick Seurin and Nicolas Iooss from Ledger Donjon, from the other side.

2015 – 2016
MATH.en.JEANS
It is a Mathematics club present in many schools in France, including my high school. For two years, I contributed to the research groups. We were supervised by a researcher from the University of Créteil who regularly came to guide us in our progress. We had a series of problems to solve, one of which was more important than the others, and we presented our results to an assembly of renowned researchers at the annual congresses. During the two years I was involved, we moved to Télécom ParisTech and ENS Ulm. It was an opportunity to exercise my research skills, of course, but also my oratory skills, and to meet a real community of regulars, united by a single word, passion. It wasn’t the most attractive activity to do in one’s spare time, but it opened my mind a lot on this field that I didn’t know well initially.
SPORTS AND HOBBIES
I practice sports since my youngest age. Thanks to my 15 years of playing tennis, I am now taking part into departmental competitions. Moreover, I also love swimming, running, skiing and most of the team sports.
During my time off, I interest myself in modern art, philosophy and astronomy, which help me to better understand our world.
