Champagne

As a Ph.D. Student and Teaching Assistant in Networking and Cyber Security at the University of Liège, I am passionate about enhancing the performance and resilience of data center networks. My research is part of the Cyber Excellence project, a collaborative initiative that aims to foster innovation and excellence in cyber security in the Walloon region.

In my current role, I am developing Smoothie, a dynamic path load balancer that leverages the power of Inband Network Telemetry (INT) and Segment Routing Version 6 (SRv6) to detect and respond to congestion in real time. Smoothie is built using the P4 programming language, a domain-specific language that enables programmability and flexibility in network devices. Additionally, I have experience working as an Incident Response Analyst at Excellium Services, where I monitored and analyzed security incidents for clients in the banking industry, using various SIEM technologies such as Qradar, Splunk, RSA, and ELK. I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Computer Systems Security, and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, both from the University of Liège. During my Master's thesis, I designed and implemented a decentralized public key infrastructure using blockchain technology, in partnership with Cisco.
