Hello there!
I am an associate professor at CentraleSupélec (Rennes, France) in the CIDRE research team since October 2020. I did my PhD in artificial intelligence at IRIT (Toulouse, France) under the supervision of Hélène Fargier and Jérôme Mengin.
Interests
I mainly work on intrusion detection, where I apply various machine learning techniques. Here are a few recent projects:
- Intrusion detection in IoT networks by analyzing with deep learning the raw radio communication captured with SDR (software-defined radio). Our solution can monitor wide radio bands and detect low-level attack in proprietary and undocumented protocols. PDF
- Intrusion detection in a fleet of IoT devices without any model learning, by detecting anomalous devices by its deviation to the rest of the population (collaboration with EDF). PDF
- Intrusion detection and explanation in avionics systems based on bigram timing analysis (collaboration with Thalès AVS). PDF
I also work on the security of formal languages and more specifically on injection attacks.
Doctoral advisor
I am currently supervising three PhD students:
- Maxime Lanvin on unsupervised intrusion detection in networks
- Vincent Raulin on malware dynamic analysis
- Adrien Schoen on network packets generation for IDS evaluation
I was also involved in various PhD:
- Malcolm Bourdon, defended in 2021
- Aliénor Damien, defended in 2020
- Jonathan Roux, defended in 2020
Teacher
I am teaching various topics at CentraleSupélec, notably:
- Network and security (L3)
- Intrusion detection system (M2)
- System programming (M1 and M2)
