About

Professional summary

I am a cryptography researcher and security engineer focused on turning formal security definitions into practical implementations with measurable trade-offs.

My research interests include structured encryption, searchable encryption, oblivious RAM, privacy-preserving storage, volume-hiding, encrypted multi-maps, and fully homomorphic encryption.

I have experience designing cryptographic constructions, performing formal security analysis, implementing C++ and Python prototypes, and benchmarking system performance across communication, storage, computation, latency, and metadata leakage dimensions.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at École Normale Supérieure Paris within the CASCADE team, in collaboration with Inria. My work focuses on resizable private storage and oblivious RAM.

I have contributed to peer-reviewed and preprint research published or accepted at venues including EUROCRYPT, SCN, PoPETs, and IACR ePrint. I also bring applied cryptography experience from research internships involving encrypted data structures and homomorphic-encryption-enabled IoT healthcare systems.

Career history

PhD Researcher in Cryptography ENS Paris and Inria CASCADE

I develop cryptographic constructions for private storage systems whose database size can change over time. My work includes formal security analysis and evaluation of communication, storage, and computational trade-offs.

I co-authored "Resizable Oblivious RAM," accepted at EUROCRYPT 2026. I conduct research within the CASCADE team at ENS Paris and Inria.

Research Intern in Applied Cryptography Northeastern University

I designed and implemented a C++ encrypted multi-map supporting low-leakage and subliminal modes. The work involved developing practical cryptographic data structures for privacy-preserving applications.

I combined Path ORAM with queueing-theoretic techniques to study latency behavior and metadata leakage. This work connected theoretical privacy guarantees with performance-oriented system analysis.

Doctoral Researcher in Searchable Encryption Mohammed VI Polytechnic University

I researched searchable and structured encryption, with a focus on multi-server volume-hiding constructions. I implemented and benchmarked research schemes by extending the Clusion framework.

I analyzed probabilistic workloads and security-efficiency trade-offs. This research contributed to work accepted at SCN 2026 and published as IACR ePrint 2024/1708.

Research Intern in Fully Homomorphic Encryption Inria

I integrated TFHE into an IoT healthcare activity-recognition system. I implemented encrypted-inference circuits to enable privacy-preserving computation over sensitive activity data.

I benchmarked optimization approaches for fully homomorphic encryption workflows, evaluating their practical performance for encrypted inference.
