I am a postdoc researcher (2021-2023) in the Crypto group of UCLouvain at Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium). Before that, I was a PhD student (2017-2020) into the ITSEF of CEA - Leti, at Grenoble (France).
My research work is mainly devoted to the study of machine learning for profiling attacks in side-channel analysis. You can find more on this in my thesis manuscript. I am also interested in hard learning problems, like LWE, and their potential link to profiling attacks against implementations protected with masking.
You can find an updated list on my DBLP profile and my Google Scholar profile.
