Hello there! 👋

I’m a postoral researcher in colaboration with Prof. Cristel Pelsser within INGI at UCLouvain. I’m currently working on cybersecurity for satellite communication including threat and mitigation mapping, and risk assessment. More broadly, I’m interested in everything linked to network protocols and their lifecycle, from RFC and implementation to measurement in the wild. I’m particularly interested in modern security-oriented protocols such as QUIC and ECH.

Before joining the UCLouvain, I obtained a Ph.D. from the École Normale Supérieure (ENS) Lyon, advised by Prof. Francesco Bronzino and Prof. Anthony Busson. During my Ph.D., my research focused on the design of system-constrained feature extraction pipelines for network traffic monitoring and measurement. I studied how these systems behave under real deployment conditions, and how to build pipelines that remain efficient and accurate despite real-world limitations such as packet loss and dynamic traffic.
