Inria Saclay, TRIBE team
1 Rue Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves, 91120 Palaiseau
I am a researcher (starting researcher position) in the TRIBE team at Inria Saclay, contributing to the national research program PEPR MOBIDEC. I am also an associate researcher in the Machine Learning and Security group at TU Berlin, led by Prof. Konrad Rieck, where I completed a postdoctoral fellowship.
I earned my PhD from Inria Saclay and École Polytechnique, under the supervision of Aline Carneiro Viana and Alain Tchana, and subsequently held a short postdoc at Inria. My research lies at the intersection of machine learning, security, and privacy, with a particular focus on user-centered analysis, attack and defense strategies, and data-driven methods in mobile communication systems.
During my PhD, I conducted research internships at Telecom Paris (cellular signaling experiments in a Faraday cage) and at CNR Pisa (modeling and realistic generation of CDR/XDR data). I hold a degree in computer engineering (2019) from École Polytechnique of Yaoundé, Cameroon.
Research interests: Mobile network security & privacy, AI for communication systems, user modeling, attack detection & prevention.
