About Me

·170 words·1 min

I am a PhD student in Computer Networks at IMT Atlantique (Lab-STICC) in Brest, Brittany. My academic journey is driven by a strong interest with network infrastructure, cybersecurity, and the evolution of network protocols.

Before starting my PhD, I gained five years of practical engineering experience in an apprenticeship, alternating every few weeks between the university and my host company. This format allowed me to gain experience working in GNU/Linux and open-source environments, enabling me to immediately apply theoretical concepts to real-world situations and tackle complex challenges while operating in a highly technical environment.

Research Vision
#

My research primarily focuses on the development of network probes specifically applied to encrypted traffic monitoring. As end-to-end encryption becomes the standard across the web, traditional Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) methods are becoming obsolete. My goal is to design new methodologies to analyze, monitor, and secure network traffic without compromising user privacy.

My long-term ambition is to contribute to the design and implementation of Autonomic Networks (RFC 7575), creating self-managing, self-optimizing network infrastructures.
