Congrès SIF - Médiations Informatiques

The SIF ("Société Informatique de France") is an association that aims to support and promote research, teaching and scientific culture in computer science in France. The annual conference took place in Nancy in June 2026, in memory of Gilles Dowek, focusing on mediation in computer science (see here). I took part as a guest speaker for a stylistic exercise on how to explain cybersecurity to different audiences (children, students, politicians). I also led a workshop on illustrating the concept of zero-knowledge proofs using various interactive examples.

Alkindi Contest

I have participated in the Alkindi Contest by giving talks for the final round of the competition: "Jeux et Codes Correcteurs" in May 2022 and "Comment prouver ce que l'on ne peut révéler" in May 2023. Alkindi Contest is a cryptography contest designed to give high school students a fun introduction to the basics of cryptanalysis. The competition attracted almost 70,000 students in 2023.

1 Scientifique - 1 Classe, Chiche!

I have met students from different high schools as part of the project: "1 Scientifique - 1 Classe, Chiche!" for which the aim is to enable each class in second year of secondary school to meet a scientist. In November 2022, I met 2 classes from François Villon high school in Paris, and in March 2025, 4 classes from Charles Hermite high school in Dieuze.
See more information on the webpage of the project Chiche.

General public

I regularly give presentations about cryptography, in particular to students in order to introduce them to the field and suggest ways to pursue their studies.
I have also made a video presentation of my career path for undergraduate students in Angers.

Junior Seminar

I was co-organising the Junior Seminar of Inria Paris with Gaspard Beugnot and Théophile Cantelobre in 2022-2023.
It is a seminar that allows young researchers to present their work to members of other teams.
