Completed the CERN Guide training course.

2006: Scientific collaborator at the Università di Cagliari (Cagliari, Italy).

Independent conception and development of a graphical interface in Python/Tkinter for the EDG software, in the framework of the EGEE-II grid computing project.

2002 - 2005: Doctoral student at INRIA (Rocquencourt, France).

Analysis of the possible security attacks against the routing layer in MANETs (ad hoc wireless networks), investigation of weaknesses in the OLSR protocol, and proposal of new security algorithms.

2002: Trainee in the Cryptography Team at Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau, France).

Studies of the X.509 Digital Certificates security infrastructure in the Netscape/Mozilla browsers, and analysis whether the Feige-Fiat-Shamir zero-knowledge proof of identity protocol could be suitable for use in Secure Shell. Implementation of the FFS protocol in C language.

2001: Technical student at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland).
