Research
I work on symmetric cryptography and discrete mathematics.
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at UCLouvain within the Crypto Group.
From September 2021 to December 2024, I was a PhD student under the supervision of Anne Canteaut & Léo Perrin, within the COSMIQ team, at Inria.
During my first years of PhD, I mainly cryptanalyzed symmetric primitives, especially lightweight ones, such as Ascon (winner of the NIST lightweight competition) or Midori.
More recently, I started studying Boolean functions, and more specifically their cryptographic properties such as APN-ness (Almost Perfect Non-linear functions).
I am also part of some workgroups whose purposes are to design new primitives either for new use cases or focused on extreme performances.
Teaching
Besides, I am in charge of weekly tutorials at UVSQ (Université Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Versailles, France).
