About

I am a PhD student in the ECO team of the LIRMM, in Montpellier, France. I am under the supervision of Pascal Giorgi, Fabien Laguillaumie, and Damien Vergnaud.

My research focuses on cryptography, more specifically Multi-Party Computation (MPC). My main topic of interest is studying how can Computer Algebra be used in order to design or improve solutions for MPC problems. I’ve worked for example on variants of the Private Set Intersection problem. I am also interested in error-correcting codes and their applications in cryptography.

I am part of the Women in Cryptography Association. In June 2025, I helped organized the Decrypting Diversity Summit in Montpellier, whose goal was to promote diversity in all its forms in the cryptography community.

Previously, I was a student at the ENS Paris-Saclay, where I obtained my MPRI master’s degree, and passed the math « agrégation ».
