Since 2022, I am an associate professor at Université Jean Monnet in Saint-Étienne. I do research in Laboratoire Hubert Curien in the SESAM team and I teach electronics and programming in the GEII department at IUT Saint-Étienne.

From 2020 to 2022, I was an associate professor at Grenoble INP. I was doing research in the TIMA laboratory in the AMfoRS team and teaching computer science at Phelma engineering school.

From 2018 to 2020, I was a postdoc researcher in the Secure Embedded Systems and Hardware Architectures team at Laboratoire Hubert Curien in Saint-Etienne, France, as part of the FUI-PILAS project. I was working on advanced laser fault injection attacks that make use of multi-spot laser stations.

From 2017 to 2018, I was a postdoc researcher at CEA-TECH DPACA, in the Secure Systems and Architectures team in Gardanne, at the Centre of Microelectronics in Provence Georges Charpak. I was working on evaluating the resistance of software against physical attacks (side-channel and fault) as part of the ANR-PROSECCO project.

From 2014 to 2017, I was a PhD student in the Secure Embedded Systems and Hardware Architectures team at Laboratoire Hubert Curien in Saint-Etienne, France. My supervisors were Pr. Lilian Bossuet and Dr. David Hély. My PhD subject was about fighting counterfeiting and illegal copying of integrated circuits and intellectual property cores. I was working as part of the ANR-SALWARE project and was funded by La Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. You can find my PhD thesis and the defense slides here.
