Short Bio

About Me

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Faculty of Computer Science, University of Namur. My work focuses on cybersecurity, with a particular interest in intelligent defense mechanisms. This includes the use of adaptive (or intelligent) honeypot systems that learn to interact with threat actors.

In my PhD dissertation, I proposed an abstract model for adaptive self-guarded honeypots called ASGARD, which can be instantiated to create various adaptive honeypot systems. These systems can be tailored to different use cases, support diverse communication protocols, and operate in multiple deployment modes.

Beside an excellent academic background, I have a strong background in software development, with deep knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and the software development lifecycle. I previously led a development team of more than 10 people in building a complex ledger system and an authoring platform for a multimedia company.

Research Interests

• Intrusion detection systems using adaptive honeypots
• Applied machine learning in cybersecurity, including reinforcement learning
