About Me


I am currently a PhD Student at the Université du Québec à Montréal under the supervision of Marc-Olivier Killijian and Sébastien Gambs. My research is on the intersection of Cryptography and Machine Learning. In particular, I delve into the innovative application of Homomorphic Encryption techniques to enhance data privacy within the realm of machine learning. This type of encryption enables the processing of data in an encrypted form, allowing computations to be performed on the encrypted data without the need for decryption. This revolutionary capability preserves the privacy and security of sensitive information throughout the entire computational process.
