I currently hold a post-doc position at University of Bordeaux, in the number theory and cryptography group. I completed my PhD in 2010 at University of Versailles, under the supervision of Antoine Joux. For details, you may take a look at my CV.

I work in the area of algorithmic number theory and its applications to cryptography. Lately, I have been working on

    Teaching


    During my PhD, I was a "moniteur" in Computer Science at the University of Versailles. In 2013, I was an ATER at ENS Paris.

  • Past courses

  • This quarter at UCSD : Subexponential algorithms for factoring and discrete logarithms

    .


    Miscellaneous


    I have served/will serve on the following program committees: SAC 2013, Pairing 2013, LATINCRYPT 2014

    Between 2001 and 2003, I was un undergraduate student of SNSB.
