About Me

I am a post-doctoral researcher in Computer Science at INRIA, within the Pesto research team. My work focuses on the use of formal methods for protocol verification.

I like discussing science, always keen to answering questions and open to new ideas and collaborations. Feel free to reach out via email if you’d like to connect!

My Research
I am currently at the intersection of formal methods and cryptographic verification. I have a strong interest in computer-aided verifications: studying and developing formal verification frameworks, improving existing tools, and applying them to real-world systems. While I am always eager to dive into proving new protocols, I also enjoy tackling theoretical questions about the nature of proofs: (How) Can we automate verification? What is the scope of a given verification framework? And how can we scale these methods to handle more complex systems, new arguments, etc. ?
