PhD Student - Open-Source Software Security
Logo University of Lille - inria Centre

I am currently working on my PhD on the subject of supply-chain attacks in the context of dependencies.

After 8 years as a software developer, working across backend architecture, mobile security, and low-level systems programming, I decided to return to academia to pursue a PhD in software security.

My research focuses on software supply-chain attacks and dependency risks in the open-source ecosystem, combining hands-on industry experience with academic research to better understand and prevent these threats.
