Security of decentralized machine learning — privacy and robustness.
Commitment to Sustainable Research
I am a signatory of the TCS4F manifesto, a pledge by researchers in theoretical computer science to reduce the environmental footprint of their scientific activity. This means limiting unnecessary air travel, favouring open and reproducible practices, and being transparent about the computational cost of research.
About me
From September 2026, I will be an Associate Professor at the University of Lille, a member of CRIStAL and part of the MAGNET team at INRIA Lille. My research focuses on the security of decentralized machine learning, addressing both privacy and robustness perspectives.
I teach in the Data Science program within the University Institute of Technology (IUT) in Roubaix.
I obtained my PhD in 2025 from Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, supervised by Nabil Mustafa and Victor-Emmanuel Brunel, working on fast algorithms for combinatorial data approximations.
Broadly, I am interested in various Computer Science and Theoretical Computer Science questions, primarily involving Algorithmics, Graphs, and Statistics. I enjoy bridging theoretical research with practical applications, particularly in privacy-preserving technologies.
