picnixz - Overview

I hold a PhD delivered by Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in post-quantum code-based cryptography, a Master in Mathematics in number theory primarily oriented towards the study of the arithmetic properties of modular forms and the algorithmic aspects of computing isogenies between abelian varieties (which elliptic curves are a special case thereof in dimension $1$), and finally a Bachelor of Arts in Music.

As a software engineer, I have studied, developed, and maintained projects in the following languages:

I actively maintain the following projects:

My hobbies are music, video games, animes, JP/CN/KR novels and mangas.
