Biography
I am a professor at UNIL-HEC Lausanne, where I lead the Information Security and Privacy Lab, within the Department of Information Systems. Before I joined UNIL in 2016, I held a tenured researcher position (Chargé de Recherche) at LAAS-CNRS, which I joined in 2015, in the Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance group (TSF). Prior to that, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at EPFL, in the Laboratory for Communications and Applications (LCA1) headed by Jean-Pierre Hubaux, from 2011 to 2014, and at McGill University, in the Distributed Information Systems Laboratory (DISL) headed by Bettina Kemme, in 2011. During my time at EPFL, I worked for some time at the Nokia Research Center.
I earned my PhD degree from the Université of Rennes and Inria in 2010 and my master’s degree in computer science from the Université de Nice — Sophia Antipolis in 2007. During my PhD, I worked in the Large-Scale Dynamic Distributed System Group (ASAP) at IRISA–Inria, under the supervision of Anne-Marie Kermarrec (now at EPFL). I did an internship at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and at Telefonica I&D in 2008 and 2009 respectively. I am a former student of Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) de Cachan – Antenne de Bretagne (now ENS Rennes)
I published 15+ articles in international journals and 40+ articles in international conferences and I filed 2 patents with Nokia; I received the Best Student Paper Award at OPODIS’09, the Best Paper Award at IEEE ICDCS’10 and a scientific excellence award from CNRS. My global research interest is in security and privacy in distributed systems and mobile (social) networks, with a special emphasis on the human and social aspects of security and privacy. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary research projects on privacy, at the frontier between computer science and social sciences (incl. law and economics) and/or medicine (mHealth, genomics, medical databases).
