My research is relevent to microarchitectural of intel x86, ARM, RISC-V. My mission is to harden open Architectures especially against microarchitectural leaks and active faults. We combine theory and practice across formal methods, simulation in gem5, and hardware prototyping. We are part of COMELEC in Telecom Paris, France. We advance the state of the art in microarchitectural security, side-channel & fault attack resistance, and trusted RISC-V SoC design with a focus on reproducible, open research.
We organize our work across the following themes.
Cache/branch leaks, transient execution, timing/power channels, and robust countermeasures.
Virtual and AI Based Platforms for Vulnearability Assesments, Embedded Security
Feature engineering, explainability (XAI), and robust ML for safety-critical domains.
Research: RISC-V security, microarchitectural leakage, formal verification, and secure SoC design.
