If you are interested in my research activities, do not hesitate to contact me to discuss opportunities for an internship, a thesis or a postdoc (even if no job proposal does fit your need!).


I am currently involved in the following research projects:

"Formal Verification of Integrated Circuits at Transistor Level" - industrial collaboration with LIP (Lyon) and Aniah
"Hardware and Software Security of Embedded Systems" - ANR Arsene - PEPR CyberSécurité
