About

I am a cryptography researcher currently working at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), University of Luxembourg.

I obtained my PhD from Paris Sciences et Lettres University (PSL), prepared at École Normale Supérieure (ENS Paris), in 2017 under the supervision of David Pointcheval and Vadim Lyubashevsky. After a postdoctoral position in the Crypto Group at UCLouvain, I joined the University of Luxembourg in 2021.

My research lies at the intersection of symmetric cryptography, Boolean functions, homomorphic encryption, and implementation security. My work includes the design and analysis of symmetric primitives, the study of Boolean functions and their cryptographic properties, homomorphic-friendly constructions, and side-channel related questions.

I am currently exploring academic and research opportunities starting from Autumn 2026.

Main Research Interests

  • Cryptography under implementation and physical constraints
  • Symmetric cryptography and cryptanalysis
  • Stream ciphers and filtered LFSR constructions
  • Boolean functions and cryptographic criteria
  • Homomorphic and hybrid homomorphic encryption
  • Homomorphic evaluation of symmetric primitives
