Journey and perspective
About Me
My academic journey has progressively developed around computer networks, telecommunications and cybersecurity. After completing a Bachelor's degree in Networks and Telecommunications at the University of Bangui, I pursued a Master's degree in Information Technology at the University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania, with a concentration in management, innovation and collaborative systems technologies. My Master's research focused on wireless network security.
I am currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC), where I am a member of the Institutional Research Chair in Cyberdefense and Personal Data Protection (CYBPRO). My doctoral research focuses on industrial cybersecurity and the design of trust architectures for industrial digital twins.
My work lies at the intersection of distributed systems, blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, IPFS, IoT/IIoT and cyber-physical systems. I am particularly interested in building secure and resilient digital industrial environments in which multiple organizations, systems and technologies can interact reliably.
My background combines experimental research, collaborative research projects, applied cybersecurity, peer-reviewed scientific publications and university teaching in IoT security.
