BIOGRAPHY
|
I am a Ph.D. student at EPFL, in the LCA1 group led by Prof. Jean-Pierre Hubaux. I earned my MSc and BSc degrees in Communications Systems from EPFL in 2007 and 2009, respectively. I held an excellence scholarship from EPFL for the entirety of my master's studies.
During my MSc, I spent one year at UC Berkeley, in the EECS graduate school, as an exchange student. There, I studied signal processing, wireless communications and information theory. Moreover, I researched FPGA-based signal processing for astronomy, supervised by Dan Werthimer, at the Berkeley Wireless Research Center. I also did a project on the impact of information revolution on the economy, at the School of Information. I completed my MSc studies at EPFL, where I mainly concentrated on cryptology, privacy and economics. In the meantime, I performed an internship at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Geneva.
I was born in France but spent most of my youth in Switzerland. I earned my high school diploma (maturité fédérale) in Yverdon-les-Bains in 2004, just before starting my engineering studies.
I was a member of the School of Computer and Communication Sciences Council (2007-2009), a scrutineer for the Swiss elections and voting process (2004-2007), and I was a member of the consular polling station for French 2007 presidential election. Since 2010, I have sat in the municipal council of Yverdon-les-Bains.
Since 2004, I have been actively involved in the university's group of Amnesty International, as a webmaster, and now as treasurer. Since 2010, I have also been in charge of the treasury of Amnesty International Lausanne.
