#### Biography
I am a professor at [UNIL-HEC Lausanne](https://www.hec.unil.ch/), where I lead the Information Security and Privacy Lab, within the Department of Information Systems. Before I joined UNIL in 2016, I held a tenured researcher position (Chargé de Recherche) at [LAAS-CNRS](https://www.laas.fr), which I joined in 2015, in the Dependable Computing and Fault Tolerance group ([TSF](https://www.laas.fr/public/en/tsf)). Prior to that, I worked as a post-doctoral researcher at [EPFL](https://www.epfl.ch), in the Laboratory for Communications and Applications ([LCA1](https://lca.epfl.ch/people/lca1)) headed by [Jean-Pierre Hubaux](https://people.epfl.ch/jean-pierre.hubaux), from 2011 to 2014, and at [McGill University](https://www.mcgill.ca), in the Distributed Information Systems Laboratory ([DISL](https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~kemme/disl/)) headed by [Bettina Kemme](https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~kemme/), in 2011. During my time at EPFL, I worked for some time at the [Nokia Research Center](https://research.nokia.com/).
I earned my PhD degree from the [Université of Rennes](https://www.univ-rennes1.fr/english/) and Inria in 2010 and my master’s degree in computer science from the [Université de Nice — Sophia Antipolis](https://unice.fr) in 2007. During my PhD, I worked in the Large-Scale Dynamic Distributed System Group ([ASAP](https://www.irisa.fr/asap)) at [IRISA](https://www.irisa.fr/)–[Inria](https://www.inria.fr/en/centre/rennes), under the supervision of [Anne-Marie Kermarrec](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-marie-kermarrec/) (now at EPFL). I did an internship at [Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam](https://www.vu.nl) and at [Telefonica I&D](https://www.tid.es/) in 2008 and 2009 respectively. I am a former student of [Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) de Cachan – Antenne de Bretagne](https://www.bretagne.ens-cachan.fr/) (now [ENS Rennes](https://www.ens-rennes.fr))
I published 15+ articles in international journals and 40+ articles in international conferences and I filed 2 patents with Nokia; I received the Best Student Paper Award at [OPODIS’09](https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-10877-8), the Best Paper Award at IEEE [ICDCS’10](https://icdcs2010.cnit.it/) and a scientific excellence award from CNRS. My global research interest is in security and privacy in distributed systems and mobile (social) networks, with a special emphasis on the human and social aspects of security and privacy. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary research projects on privacy, at the frontier between computer science and social sciences (incl. law and economics) and/or medicine (mHealth, genomics, medical databases).
