RESEARCH & ACADEMIC PROFILE
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in cybersecurity (2023–present) at Télécom Paris,
Institut Polytechnique de Paris, in collaboration with Ledger Donjon. My doctoral
research investigates the security properties of Layer 2 blockchain protocols, with
particular emphasis on rollup constructions, zkEVM implementations, and cross-layer
security guarantees. I conduct this work under the supervision of Prof. Rida Khatoun
(Télécom Paris), Dr. Yannick Seurin, and Nicolas Iooss (Ledger Donjon), bridging
academic research with industrial security practice. Further details are available
on thèse.fr.
Prior to my doctoral studies, I completed intensive preparatory classes (Classes
Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles) in Mathematics, Physics, and Mechanics before
entering Télécom SudParis, a leading French engineering institution and member of
both Institut Polytechnique de Paris and the Institut Mines-Télécom network. I
graduated with a Master of Science and Engineering Degree (Diplôme d’Ingénieur),
specializing in Cybersecurity with coursework spanning telecommunications, computer
science, networks, and electronics.
In September 2022, I earned the ESSI certification (Expert en Sécurité des Systèmes
d’Information) from ANSSI, the French National Cybersecurity Agency, demonstrating
advanced expertise in information systems security.
My academic trajectory reflects a sustained commitment to understanding the formal
foundations of secure systems while maintaining strong connections to practical
implementation challenges in decentralized technologies.
