Who I am

About me

Holder of a PhD degree in engineering science and technology since March 2021 from the Faculty of Engineering (Umons - Belgium), and previously post-doctoral researcher at the ILIA lab of the University of MONS. I am also a scientific and teaching collaborator in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Multimedia Processing, and Programming Languages.

Between March 2022 and November 2023 I was postdoctoral researcher at the Faculty of Computer Science of the University of Namur, working in direct collaboration with VOCSenS and the Walloon region to calibrate low-cost gas sensors using new machine learning algorithms.

Currently and since November 2023, I manage IT security at the Parliament of FC in Belgium overseeing the strategic, technological, organizational, and administrative dimensions of Cybersecurity.
