About Me

I (she/her) am a Ph.D candidate in lattice-based cryptography, I am part of the ECO Team (CNRS, LIRMM) and my supervisors are Katharina Boudgoust and Laurent Imbert. My interests lie in the design of quantum resilient asymmetric cryptographic primitives and the problems surrounding their implementation, with a focus on lattice-based cryptology and advanced designs (e.g. probing security, fully homomorphic encryption).

My Research

My research is focused on crytpographic primitives based on lattices and their design. I currently work on primitives whose security rely on structured lattices assumptions (namely MLWE) and mostly their probing security. I am interested in designing new primitives with additional properties, such as resistance against side-channel “by design”.

I am also interested in working on other additional properties for schemes, such as fully homomorphic encryption, or threshold/aggregation for encryption and signatures. Primitives that rely on other assumptions on structured lattices also are of interest to me although I did not have a lot of time to invest in these.

I previously worked on a Python/SageMath implementation of a FALCON-like scheme, whose security rely on the NTRU and ISIS in structured lattices assumptions.

If any of those subjects is of interest to you and you would like to collaborate please don’t hesitate to reach out !
