I graduated as a civil engineer in june 2004 from the Catholic University of Louvain ( Louvain-La-Neuve). I started a PhD on side-channel countermeasures in september 2004 under the supervision of Jean-Jacques Quisquater and Jean-Didier Legat. I am currently funded by a FRIA grant. My current research interest are gate level countermeasure design and assessment, side-channel attacks and hardware implementations of block ciphers.
