I am a member of several “PEPR Cybersécurité” projects:
I am the Inria’s PI (principal investigator) of the SecGen associate team with CISPA. This project is dedicated to synthetic data generation for intrusion detection systems. I am also a member of the DeceptIA associate team with DFKI and Osaka Metropolitan University.
I am currently co-supervising 5 PhD students:
Alumni PhD:
I was also involved in various PhD: Malcolm Bourdon (defended in 2021), Aliénor Damien (defended in 2020) and Jonathan Roux (defended in 2020).
I co-organized the ANUBIS workshop at ESORICS25 on the evaluation of intrusion detection systems.
I am a part-time professor at CentraleSupélec. You can find more details about my teaching here.
I was a member of the working group that lead to the ANSSI publication Building trust in AI through a cyber risk-based approach.
I occasionally serve as an expert for ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche), ANRT (Association Nationale de la Recherche et de la Technologie) and PTCC (Programme de Transfert au Campus Cyber).
