Part of the Computer Emergency Response Team (one of only two in Switzerland) specializing in Cyber Threat Intelligence.Development of tools for recording Indicators of Compromise during security incidents and attacks. These tools generate MISP events, which are then shared with the rest of the security community, for example, through OpenCTI.

Research work focused on implementing side-channels attacks on a recent homomorphic encryption scheme and assessing its resilience. We invented a novel countermeasure worth a patent filing and submitted a paper to CHES 2025.- Collection of a target device's electromagnetic radiation during the execution of encryptions to recover the entire cryptographic key.- Implementation of well-known countermeasures to mitigate the previous attack.- Bypassing those countermeasures through the use of more complex Deep Learning models.- Invention of a new countermeasure intended to mitigate the training of the aforementioned Deep Learning models leading to the filing of an international patent.The steps are all part of my Master's thesis, which achieved the maximum grade of 6/6 and was submitted as a scientific paper to CHES 2025.

- Development of a Machine Learning model to identify different beam kickers based on subsecond soundwaves that they emit when they operate. It would also detect anomalies in the recorded sound to detect possible degradations of the kickers.- Development of a Graphical User Interface with PyQt to visualize the predictions as soon as they were made and to apply user parameters.
