I obtained my PhD degree in January 2011. The title of my thesis is " Statistical and Information-Theoretic Methods for Power Analysis on Embedded Cryptography". It is available for download . On the right is a photo of my jury and me taken right after the promotion -->

I am a postdoctoral researcher in embedded securtiy at the COSIC research group, which is a part of the department for eletrical engineering (ESAT) at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. My research topics focus on the (physical) security of embedded devices and include:

• Side-Channel Analysis
• Fault Analysis
• Countermeasures against active and passive attacks on protocol, algorithm, circuit, and gate level
• Secure system on chip design
