Me in brief

Associate professor since Sept. 2026, teaching on the Paris and Toulouse campuses. My PhD thesis is on the detection of low-footprint attacks, with a focus on the prevention of DLL Search Order Hijacking and the detection of high-level behaviours that are associated with Living-off-the-Land attack techniques. I also hold an engineering degree in telecommunications and computer networks.

On a more personal level, I'm a tinkerer that loves learning about anything and everything (electronics, woodworking, stick-welding, etc.). My main hobby has been amateur radio for some time now and I'm currently mentoring a few students in the process of acquiring their amateur radio licence.
